Shortly after discovering I had blockages that were ultimately corrected via 3 stents (July of 2022), it was determined that I had elevated LP(a) levels (221). As others have noted, statins and lifestyle changes won't lower LP(a) levels. I found one study that suggested whey protein (approx 60 gms (2 scoops)) was effective in lowering LDL.
In Sept of 2023, I started taking whey protein.
In July of 2024, I applied for a clinical study of Lepodisiran (phase one trial had shown a 90% reduction).
Much to my surprise, my LP(a) had dropped to 117 (still too high, but a nice improvement).
I stopped the whey protein in thehopes of being retested and accepted into the trial.
One month later, my LP(a) was back up to 160, not quite high enough to be accpeted into the study.
I resumed my daily whey protein intake, and in Dec 2024, it was down to 88.
