No: Potassium supplementation is not a treatment for high cholesterol. Speak to your doctor about dietary and lifestyle modifications, and potentially starting a medication if necessary.

Not directly: But it's possible if you are eating a potassium rich diet - of which fruits and vegetables are the best sources - that your cholesterol profile may improve related to the food types that your are eating. Best of luck.
