High ldl (bad) cholesterol

[ThePiper]

I’m 29, skinny fairly healthy diet and exercise daily kava drinker for years, just got blood work back… everything very good except the LDL 114. HDL normal. Anyone else have this? I know high HDL has been seen with kava.

From my purely anecdotal experience: yes, definite impact. I "solved" high LDL scores by simply not imbibing the root two days prior to labs. Now I test in the 60-80 range instead of slightly over 100.

Now that is very interesting, and would suggest whatever this effect is, it's very quick to re-adjust. More questions to add to the pile
