Rosuvastatin is what I take. Cardio guy had to really convince me. Aside from his willingness to monitor blood levels he said it has a great reputation for doing the job and without ill effects. He agreed that in the early days of statins... hit or or miss was more likely and with side effects. Within a month my bad levels dropped 50%. Somewhat amazing. Might consider asking about it.

August 1, 2024 Julie Corliss, Executive Editor, Harvard Heart Letter How do I lower my cholesterol? Many of them hope to avoid taking drugs, while others are interested in natural cholesterol-lowering medications... there are three main ways to lower LDL to the recommended 100 mg/dL or lower: diet, a dietary supplement, or a prescription medication, such as a statin. Dietary changes: Eat plenty of plant foods (like vegetables, fruits, beans, and whole grains — especially oats) that are rich in fiber, which helps lower your cholesterol by making dietary cholesterol harder to absorb from your gut. Supplements: Psyllium husk-- thought to absorb bile acids and cholesterol, which are then eliminated from the body during bowel movements. The suggested daily dose is 5 to 10 grams. An April 2024 review article in the journal Nutrients found that taking psyllium daily for a month or two can lower LDL by about 6 points, on average. Plant sterols-- nuts, soybeans, peas, and rapeseed... Phytosterols are also available in capsule form. Red yeast rice. ... health.harvard.edu
