@World Traveler 

Thank you for that background.  

I was willing to take a statin for 6 months, and what I was given was the Lipitor generic.  Unaware of the side effects, I nearly fell down in a store and that was the end of that.

I have some Cholestacare left, so I'm taking those, but am still researching, and watching for the C N sale.

If Cholestacare stopped working for you then for sure CN wont get the job done. I used plant sterols for 20 years and my chol was under control, suddenly last year it spiked and I had to go  on meds. I take a non statin drug called Zetia, gets the job done with no side effects but its lowering potency is a bit less than statins.

I never heard of this supplement.  Good luck getting your cholesterol in check.

It looks like all of Lessman has free shipping except for the Choco Nuvo.

I don't know what you're looking to know. CN won't do anything for your cholesterol.

You can easily buy clean dark chocolate. Plant sterols can be found naturally in foods.

I get mine from whole grains and fruit. Plant sterols are certainly good for you, no factual evidence they or dark chocolate will reduce cholesterol. Just another gimmick. Plenty of 

so called " plant sterol" cholesterol lowering products all over the internet.

It's not a gimmick. I have been using Andrew's ChocoNuvo plus his fiber for several years. 

I was eating one piece of the ChocoNuvo without the fiber. My numbers went down. When I added another piece plus his fiber it when down more.

My doctor said after I had my labs she didn't know what I was doing but to keep doing it. 

I agree it doesn't work for everyone.

In Oct the TS price has been $150 for the large 360 ct.

The price is higher in April when he offers it. Not sure what that is. One year it was the same price as the TS.

I always buy at least 2 360 ct bags when it's the TS to last until the next TS.

@Tinkrbl44 if you take CoQ10 while on statins, it can mitigate the side effects. I'm surprised your doctor didn't mention this. I take 10mg of Lipitor daily along with 100mg of CoQ10 and have no issues. Consider asking your doctor about this.

Andrew Lessman will have a TS (not sure what) on Sunday April 6th -  plus free shipping.

@Tinkrbl44   How can I buy this product?  I went to pro caps site, but they want all my info plus phone number, etc.   I don't want to give out phone. Bad experience.

It's a little confusing, but with my blood tests a year ago, the numbers had jumped a bit, so I started taking Cholestacare. 

Six months ago, the numbers were lower, but not by much, so I assumed it hadn't helped and stopped taking it.  I ate oatmeal several times a week. 

The most recent blood results had the numbers go back up a few points ... so then I thought maybe the Cholestacare had been working.
