Are there any supplements anyone else is familiar with that I can take besides this? My low is to low and my high is to high, according to them. I’ve looked at my daily foods and can hardly find anything that has cholesterol in it, other than milk. Could I lose 5-8 lbs, sure..would that make a difference?

Eat fewer refined carbohydrates. For me loading up on vegetables in the early part of the day was the easiest way. Another easy way is to follow the "Carbohydrate addicts diet." You can read the book if you want the inspiration, but you have equal parts vegetable and protein for two meals, and then a third meal of your choice (breakfast lunch or dinner) you can have any carb you want, but only one, and you have to balance that with equal part vegetable and protein. They really want you to have the carb meal be the same meal every day so if you pick dinner, that's it. If you want a brownie after dinner, no potato. If you want a potato with dinner, no wine with dinner. If you want bread with dinner, no potato, wine or brownie, etc. They want you to eat that carb within an hour of whatever else you are eating. BTW they don't really care about the fat.
In two weeks your blood sugar is so leveled out that you won't really have sugar/carb cravings anymore. In my experience, following this diet pushed my good cholesterol way way up. My bad was borderline, but still on the okay side and they were so happy with my good that I didn't need meds. My whole family on my dad's side struggles with high cholesterol. It is a real thing and killed my dad. The scam isn't that there's no such thing, the scam is that it is more about carbohydrates than fat, and you can bring it down without medication.
