And of course dietary cholesterol is the least component as between cholesterol produced by your liver VS that contributed by your diet.
I have the familial kind......liver working 24/7 to give me high bad numbers regardless of exercise....lots of it.......and dietary restrictions and supplements....calamari gel caps, flax seed oil, tumeric and olive oil.
Swanson's actually has a Mediterranean Nutrient Complex. Check it out below.
So, Atorvastatin for me. 'Safe' numbers within 60 days of starting and
3 and 1/2 years in, plenty of CoQ10, and no side effects.

About 85 percent of your blood cholesterol level is endogenous, which means it is produced by your body. The other 15 percent or so comes from an external source -- your diet.
Your dietary cholesterol originates from meat, poultry, fish, seafood and dairy products. It's possible for some people to eat foods high in cholesterol and still have low blood cholesterol levels. Likewise, it's possible to eat foods low in cholesterol and have a high blood cholesterol level.
