Suffering from a heart attack was not on my list of things to accomplish in life. Neither was taking a Rx med for life, like my older siblings have been doing for a number of years. I was close to discussing options with my doc when a friend told me about Sterolyn. I read about it and was impressed with what I saw. It's been 4 months and I have not had any of the neg side effects I've heard my brothers complain about, and my cholesterols going down, good news.
