Bergamot

@naiviv Hello, I too read about the benefits of bergamot and tried it for a year, along with modifying my diet - it had zero effect on my LDL, which continued to rise.
Now I have tried 3 different statins, and had unacceptable side effects with each, so awaiting a referral to cardiology for further testing to see what my actual risks are, and whether I might be a candidate for one of the newer, non-statin drugs.

Yes. Thank you. My cardiologist mentioned 3 non statins to me but I am checking on these meds.

Can I ask what side effects you had on statins? What did you end up taking instead?
