Hello,

I have been on LP protocol for about 2 years with excellent results in Lipid profile (200 total; 53 trig ; 87 HDL ; 100 LDL) and BP ( ~ 110/65). My protocol is 10 g Vit C + 5.5 g Lysine + 1 g Proline, divided in 3 doses per day. I do take various other vitamins including a liquid gel (NOW adam) multi.

question 1: I have been taking a tea spoon of honey in the morning and evening along with power ascorbic acid + Lysine powder. Is honey (being primarily sugar) not advisable ?

question 2: I want to start adding 2 g /day of Arginine to this regime. Is that OK ?

I am 69 years old.

Thanks for your reply. I was using honey to make the ascorbic acid a bit tasty. I will drop it from my doses. Before I stating on LP protocol, I was using Niacin (2g/day) for Cholesterol which I am trying to drop it to 1g/day. I take Niacin also with ascorbic acid powder solution ( + Lysine powder + Proline cap) and then an hour after take my multi vitamin (and other supplements) with breakfast.

From now on I will take my Niacin also with food and take Vit C + Lysine + Proline an hour before. The afternoon and evening protocols are easier to manage.

Here is what I take:

Ascorbic Acid powder (3.5 g) + Lysine powder (1.75 g) + Proline cap (500mg) : 3 times a day in 2-cups of water;
Niacin 1g/ day;
Now Foods Adam Soft-gel Multi-vit 2 caps/day; E-400 ;
Mag Glycinate 400X2 mg; B-100 1 cap; B-6 100mg; TMG 1X2 g; MSM 1g; CoQ10 100mg; SuperK (MK7-100mcg;MK41000mcg); Folic acid 1600 mg; Omega 3 comp. 340 mg
Grapeseed Extract 100 mg; Bio Sil (silcon 5mg);
