Why are we still chasing LDL-C and not LDL-P or apo B

Thank you- extremely helpful- but curious- why isn't otc Niacin rec if it lowers LPa?

[@edwrobel]

I lowered my Lp a from 147 nmol/L to 45 nmol/L after six weeks with 2000 mg of Niacin

Most say LP(a) doesn't change much. Mine was 94 in Feb-2021 and became 150 in Mar-2024

[@michaelhimes8778]

That’s a big change.

You should look at the amount of vitamin C is in blood. Because the root cause of Lpa in the first place.

[@AK-qo6tx]

Vitamin c doesn't lower high lp a.
