It should be noted that you should take supplements only on your GP or dietary advisor's
instructions, as they will be aware of any preceding illnesses or individual-specific allergies that apply to you. Taking supplements when it's unnecessary as a preventative measure is inadvisable, as if you mess with your natural cholesterol, including HDL which is good, then you may cause illness and other issues. Supplements that can be purchased from a pharmacy will provide instructions that you should follow to the letter.
