What are Indian gooseberries? It would be very helpful to have a scientific name, as common names can vary from place to place? Also, what is the evidence medical/scientific evidence for their use in place of a statin or a niacin supplement? I have been recommended a "prophylactic" statin even though my numbers are all withing normal range, and I am trying to figure out what, besides diet & exercise can lower them further to satisfy my cardiologist.
