I’m taking 2000 mg/day of niacin to reduce cholesterol (I get muscle aches from every statin on the market, and niacin is cheaper) I wonder if nicotinamide riboside will also reduce cholesterol?

If your triglycerides are a reasonable portion on your cholesterol number, those come directly from carbs—especially sugars and breads. Get rid of those and that number will go down.

Check your A1C. If high, you have a lot of carbs AND few antioxidants.

Everyone taking statins really needs to take CoQ10 or the better form called ubiquinol. Your doctor should have told you this, sadly. It will blunt most pain-related issues from statin use (CoQ10 production in your body goes way down with statin use).

I recall reading a journal article to that effect...
