A member asked:
Is it safe to take 200 mg of l-theanine with 5 mg of simvastatin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
L-theanine has been found to potentially lower both LDL and HDL cholesterol. It may have an additive effect along with cholesterol lowering statin meds. BUT-Since it lowers "good" cholesterols which are important to cardiovascular health, it is not recommended for people taking statins.
