I would say it's very unlikely the two have anything to do with each other because your cholesterol isn't that high, 5.6 is slightly elevated.
You don't need a supplement to fix a 5.6 you just got to do some cardio and eat better. Honestly just doing some cardio would probably fix the problem.
Soluble fiber like psyllium husk is a cheap and effective.
Fish oil and red yeast rice will also lower it if you use them regularly.
Berberine is also really good at lowering cholesterol

SNS has both a cardiovascular support and cholesterol support that both help.

Anyone taken these with blood work?

I take the cardiovascular support. I was 220 14% BF and dropped to 210 11% and started Cardiovascular support and total cholesterol went from 200 to 180. ApoB 110 to 97. LDL 131 to 115. Still a bit high and I’m hoping my next reading is a little better again.

My wife had had excellent results, which I've posted elsewhere here, from products with some of the same ingredients as cholesterol xt. She switched to cholesterol xt and is maintaining the improvements.
I take cardiovascular xt for overall heart health, and have overall good cholesterol, but the main thing I notice is improved endurance. I also have crazy high T for a 51yo, which might also be helped by some incredinets in cardiovascular xt.

There's probably a lot of synergy going on there. Pomegranate also boosts test, and also olive leaf.

Key Results Explained
1. Total Cholesterol: 5.7 mmol/L (High)• Ideal: below 5.2
• This is slightly raised
This alone doesn’t tell the full story, but it flags a risk.⸻
2. LDL (“Bad” Cholesterol): 4.2 mmol/L (High)• Ideal: below 3.0
• This is the main concern
LDL is the type that can build up in arteries → increases risk of:• Heart disease
• Stroke
⸻
3. HDL (“Good” Cholesterol): 1.1 mmol/L (OK but not great)• Ideal: above 1.0 (men), higher is better
This is just acceptable, but ideally should be higher because HDL protects the heart.⸻
4. Cholesterol/HDL Ratio: 5.18 (High)• Ideal: below 4.0
This ratio is important — it shows overall heart risk• His is raised, meaning higher cardiovascular risk
⸻
5. Triglycerides: 0.9 mmol/L (Good)• Ideal: below 1.7
This is healthy, which is a positive sign⸻
6. Non-HDL Cholesterol: 4.6 mmol/L (High)• This includes all “bad” cholesterol types
• Ideally should be below ~4.0
Again confirms elevated risk⸻
Overall InterpretationYour brother’s results show:
Good:• Triglycerides are healthy
Needs attention:• LDL is high
• Total cholesterol is high
• Risk ratio is high
This suggests an increased risk of heart disease over time, not an emergency — but something that should be addressed now⸻
What This Usually Means Clinically (UK/NHS context)A GP will likely:
• Assess overall cardiovascular risk (QRISK score)
• Ask about:
• Diet
• Weight
• Exercise
• Smoking
• Family history
⸻
What He Can Do (First-line changes)
Diet• Reduce:
• Fried foods
• Processed meat
• Butter, ghee, cheese
• Increase:
• Oats, fibre
• Vegetables
• Fish (especially oily fish)
• Nuts
⸻
Lifestyle• Exercise: 30 mins, 5x/week
• Maintain healthy weight
• Stop smoking (if applicable)
⸻
Medication?• Not always needed immediately
• GP may consider statins if:
• Risk score is high
• Or lifestyle changes don’t improve levels
⸻
When to take this more seriously• Strong family history of heart disease
• Diabetes
• High blood pressure
• Overweight
⸻
Bottom line This is not dangerous right now, but it’s early warning territory With changes, these numbers can improve significantly

Citrus Bergamot will raise HDL a good 10% usually. Spirulina will lower LDL primarily and HDL slightly, but heavily skewed towards LDL and therefore improving Ratio and Total. Pantethine is another great natural option. Quality fish oil is always good. Lots of the quality cardiovascular benefiting polyphenols & nutraceuticals will promote better lipids to a minor degree. Cardiovascular Support XT is not marketed for this, but as it contains many of these it is a good staple to consider if supporting cardiovascular longevity is a priority. I think I’ve been on it straight for 3 years now, since it’s release.
SNS Cholesterol Support XT is the best natural option you have, and I’d expect results even with no lifestyle intervention - but I’d strongly suggest adjusting diet as well to include more fiber and less saturated fat (if it’s over 20g daily). Plus cardio for sure.
If you can’t get it under control, look into micro-dosed Rosuvastatin therapy with your doctor. It’s been shown effective at just 1mg daily to reduce cholesterol in most at around 75% effectiveness of the common 10mg minimum, without the muscle pains, strains and insulin sensitivity disruption. Red Yeast Rice from other countries can contain Lovastatin, but you’re dealing with random amounts from supplements as opposed to pharmaceutical grade from a doctor that is reliable. Also, the drug Ezetimibe at 5mg has also been shown in studies to be as effective as the 10mg common dose, to reduce LDL about 10%.
And the carcinogenic research chemical GW/Cardarine at just 5mg can very quickly sort out lipids and lower trigs significantly, over a month or two typically. This is a play to help things improve quickly, NOT something to stay on. Again, this drug failed trials due to cancer concerns in rats at high doses, and all drugs must pass that test to be approved.
