"I used this product for 3 months (taking 1 capsule twice a day). I changed nothing in my eating or exercise habits other than taking the Pantethine). My cholesterol dropped considerably below 200 with a decrease in my LDL as well. I would highly recommend this product to everyone, but make sure you check with your Physician first."

"I have been using Pantethine for over a year. Initially I went for a yearly check up and cholesterol was high. Doctor wanted to start me on Lipitor, but I said I wanted 6 months try something else. I started Pantethine and when I went back my doctor said whatever you are doing continue. My Triclycerides are 39, HDL 82 and calulated LDL 134. I eat right, do cardio exercise for 1 hour 4 x a week, and take Pantethine. Try it for a few months! IT WORKS! Age 50, body fat 25%,female- Really... exercise, a sensible diet and pantethine will do the trick."
