Smarty: "Mega RedTM Omega 3 Krill Oil supports a low fat diet. I took lipitor for four years and found I was experiencing a rare side effect, abdomyolysis (muscle breakdown). Mega Red krill oil was part of my low fat diet, along with a blend of 3-6-9 omega oil blend. After two months and weeks, I had my cholesterol checked. It went from 240 (pre-lipitor) to 179. LDL from 160 to 119 and HDL from 35 to 40. All as good or better than what I got on 20 mg of Lipitor, I am now happy and filled with a lot of energy".
