MFO & RYR: You can use GOOD QUALITY marine fish oil to lower triglycerides and red yeast rice to lower ldl. Some folks need one or the other, some both. Nutrition accounts for 15 to 20 % of lab results, the rest is familial. Please continue to see your doctor and discuss the above w/him/her before making any changes. Peace and good health.
