I'd just like to say ... Your cholesterol profile is AWESOME! That is pretty close to the best I've ever seen with the HDL as high as the LDL. Don't worry about the total being above 200 with that ratio.

Great lipids.... With your potassium being elevated if be interested to know your creatinine. Don't know your age but t is pretty low

I was trying to exhaust all my natural options first....but yeah, I get what you mean.

Nice labs. Especially that HDL. More people need to be conscious of what is going on INSIDE the body instead of just outside. Never settle, always try to make them better.
