I'd have your labs done over before you start on anything. My cholesterol was through the roof last year 256, and i'm only 25. I quit smoking, started exercising, ate oatmeal and my cholesterol is now 169. I also was 2 1/2 yrs sober so my liver was feeling better.
and make sure it your blood is taken on an empty stomach with no alcohol the day before for a more accurate read.

There's also new research to suggest that the numbers used today aren't a good indicator anyways.
