Anyone successfully lower their CAC (Calcium) score through diet and/or supplementation?

I’ve lowered my A1C. What’s CAC?

Simple scan of the heart to show if there is plaque or not and, if so, how much. Highly recommended and cost about 100 bucks

CAC score data is only informative for outliers. Young with a high score, old with a low score.

Thanks! Yes, I have looked into Linus Pauling and nothing he recommends can hurt so may give his protocol a shot and see if I can lower it. I am looking for people who have lowered it succesfully with a certain protocol. There are a lot of scam testimonials trying to sell supplements, so it is difficult - plus many people don’t get their Calcium Score.

I recently had this test and I’m curious about this as well. Dr referred me to a cardiologist and changed my cholesterol medicine.

I read a Keto diet could help lower the score. Anyone have success with Keto?

Thanks for the clarification but my cardiologist never mentioned me taking the test.

You should ask for it. It is a simple and can show where in your heart plaque is and how much. I have plaque in my LAD (Lower Anterior Descending Artery) but all other arteries are clean - unfortunately, the LAD is called the widowmaker artery.

I haven't had the scan but do take the product developed by this guy.

He lowered his score dramatically, you may find this interesting

You say "simple", but I think it's relatively high in received radiation vs other types of scans.

Just cut out bread and sugar. That should have a big impact on it.
