Is there a supplement like cod liver oil I can take? I eat oatmeal for breakfast in the morning. My triglycerides are high as well at 278

Hi, i do care for your concern.
you have not mentioned the values of GGT and ALP levels.
If both these levels are increased then it suggest pathology in biliary system unless until ruled out.
I would advise to consult with your physician about the raised values and diagnosed accordingly.
regarding the cholesterol level, considering your age, starting on drugs i.e statin's rather than supplements and diet will help a lot.
Cod liver oil can be taken as it provides vitamins and anti oxidants.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
