Do you take both 1000mg pills at once at breakfast time or one pill at breakfast and one at dinner? I am trying to not take Statins to lower cholesterol levels.

Hello dear, For most cholesterol-lowering supplements (such as plant sterols, red yeast rice, or omega-3s), splitting the dose taking one 1000mg pill at breakfast and one at dinner is generally recommended. This approach maintains consistent blood levels throughout the day and minimizes the risk of gastrointestinal upset compared to taking a full 2000mg dose all at once. ​ Hyperlipidemia is viewed as an imbalance of Kapha dosha and vitiation of Meda Dhatu (fat tissue), leading to Ama (toxins) obstructing the Raktavaha Srotas (blood channels). The therapeutic approach focuses on Deepana (igniting digestive fire), Pachana (digesting toxins), and Lekhana (scraping excess fat). ​ Ayurveda Medicines & Dosage 1. ​Liposem Tablets: A proprietary medicine specifically for managing cholesterol profiles. Standard dose: 2 tablets twice or thrice daily after meals. 2. ​Varanadi Kashayam: A classical formulation for Meda Dhatu vitiation and Kapha reduction. Standard dose: 15 ml of kashayam mixed with 45 ml of warm water, twice daily before food. 3. ​Guggulutiktakam Kashayam: Used for deeper Sroto-shodhana (channel clearing). Standard dose: 15 ml with 45 ml warm water, twice daily before food.

Hello, Do NOT take both 1000 mg pills together at once Best way -1 pill 1000 mg at breakfast -1 pill 1000 mg at dinner Reason -better absorption throughout the day -maintains steady lipid metabolism -reduces digestive load Ayurvedic view High cholestrol- meda dhatu vriddhi + weak digestive fire + ama accumulation So treatment is not just pills, but -Improve digestion -correct fat metabolism -clean channels Internal management 1) Fat metabolism -Triphala guggulu= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =helps reduce cholestrol, improve metabolism 2) Liver + lipid control -Amrutham kashayam= 15ml + 45 ml water twice daily before meals =supports liver-> key for cholestrol control -Liposem tablet= 1 tab twice daily after meals =cholestrol lipid control 3) Digestive correction -Asthachoornam = 1/2 tsp before meals with warm water =improves fat digestion Diet most powerful part -garlic (natural lipid reducer) -warm water -oats, barley -green vegetables Avoid -fried food -bakery items -red meat -excess dairy Lifestyle -30-45 min brisk walking daily -weight control is essential Important relaity Supplements alone is not enough If cholestrol is high -lifestyle change= 70% treatment -Medicines= 30% support Split dose (morning + evening ) is best Avoid taking both tabs together Combine with Ayurveda + diet for real results Do follow Hope this might be helpful Thank you
