If you've not made diet changes you may not see any change just by using supplements. Your HDL is not bad but you need to get your trigs and LDL down. Cut out simple sugars and see if that doesn't make things better. You may not need to spend the money on supplements.

Let me add try to lower your saturated fat coonsumption as much as you can by decreasing some of the biggest offenders like saturated fats (margerine, Crisco, Kool-Whip), and butterfat sources (whole milk, butter, cream), bacon sausage Hot dogs and the processed meat-like foods .

After 60 days a retest should show some lower LDL's.

Good Luck!
