    No, I believe long term use could increase Triglyceride levels. You could run Crestor @ 5mg daily.

    Cholestoff plus 900mg/day (lowers LDL)
    CoQ10 300mg/day (lowers LDL and TC)
    Krill oil 2-3g/day (lowers TG and LDL)
    Resveratrol 150-200mg/day (raises HDL)
    Soluble fiber 4-6g/day (raises HDL; lowers TC)

    Keep in mind these OTC products won't correct advanced cases of hypercholesterolemia or hyperlipidemia. Among the few published studies that have been conducted some report as little as a 10-15% correction in cholesterol values (LDL-C, HDL-C, TG, TC) while other studies conclude that these products don't do much more than dietary changes would to correct poor cholesterol values.

    A lot of people wrongly believe that omegas will influence lipid metabolism, however the greatest effect of omegas are on triglycerides and very little effect is typically seen in TC, HDL-C, or LDL-C (compared to changes in TGs).

    It depends on your lipid panel. Was your tested recently?

    Initially I'd try to bring it down with diet and supplements. I'm not a huge fan of statins, many of which stress the liver, except in cases where lipid markers are dangerously high. That's not to say I'm opposed to them, rather, many of my colleagues are too quick to write a script for statins without considering alternatives and the risks with statin use.

    Surely cardio is the best way to keep the two down?
