Q: Do you know of any supplements, e.g. vitamins, herbs or minerals that would raise triglycerides,?

On my last blood test my triglycerides, VLDL cholesterol,and AST, ALT liver enzymes were higher than the last 3 tests of past 12 months and I am drinking less alcohol and watching what I eat  more than I did then !

My doctor said to stop the supplements but they have helped me cut back my blood pressure and statin medicines somewhat in the past year & 1/2 .

Any input would be appreciated.
