ectoplan side effect ## This company does not have a website, so finding information on their products is difficult. From what I can discover, however, it is nothing more than a vitamin supplement, so it is not actually proven to do anything or help with anything. This also means that the side effects have not been studied. From what I can gather, it appears to contain: Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin B-1, Vitamin B-2, Niacin, Vitamin B-6, Vitamin B-12, Pantothenic Acid, Calcium, Iron, Manganese, and Beef Liver The best way to gain weight is under a doctor's supervision, following a proper diet. Have you consulted a doctor?

What happens to your cholesterol levels when going off lipitor cold turkey? I went off of it two months ago and then got scared about my cholesterol levels. I went off by weaning. First, one full pill then 1/2 pill next day. Did this for almost a week. Then I went to 1/2 pill daily for a week. Then 1/2 pill every other day. Finally I stopped. I had no side effects except feeling great. My greatest concern is my cholesterol levels. Do they sky rocket and if so how much? Also, if I start a niacin, red rice, ubiquinol To regimen will this help. Can I take these while weaning off lipitor? You see, after I went off the lipitor I got scared and went back on it .
