Cholesterol is off balance because if your food habits and not consuming home-cooked balanced meals , Vitamin D can be fortified too with morning sunlight exposure .
But consuming supplements would hardly help you absorb just 30% of the total value instead try and supplement your diet with natural & clean food sources that will be 80-90% bio absorbable and will put your blood levels in place
Next Steps
Gulp down 1 garlic pod with water like a capsule in the morning, it will help you naturally to get rid of bad cholesterol form your blood but it will only help if you totally stop consuming ultra -processed & highly processed foods & switch over to simple home cooked balanced meals

If your vitamin D is very low a multivitamin will not be sufficient.
Cholesterol can be high because of unhealthy eating pattern as well.
Include more vegetables and a healthy regime to lower the levels.
Next Steps
Do let me know your vitamin D levels

Healthy morning,
Yes, some vitamin may help lower cholesterol.
But keep in mind that vitamins aren’t magic remedy for cholesterol. Chances are taking vitamins will likely be part of larger treatment plan that consists of medication, diet and lifestyle changes. This is especially true if you are deficient in certain nutrients.
Vitamin supplements do not replace the need for cholesterol medication and suspending your cholesterol treatment without consulting and getting approval from a doctor first is not recommended.
Health Tips
People can naturally lower their cholesterol levels by adopting dietary and lifestyle changes
This can include changing types of fats they eat , consume soluble fiber and maintaining healthy weight.
