No such thing, UR : Cholesterol total is high enough, maybe too high. Work with your doctor to lower it!

Cholesterol tablets,: Statins, are unpleasant and can harm you. I would try diet and exercise and EPA omega-3 which lowers LDL and triglycerides. It is available in dietary supplement or prescription Vascepa.
