Yup, especially since GGT is within range.

found this googling hdl

out of curiosity i googled how to raise hdl and came up with this list....the onion looks good....

Eat more curry (Curcumin is the effective agent). One study noted a 29% increase in HDL
Grape Juice significantly increases HDL, according to a study out of Boston University School of Medicine
Eat foods high in Vitamin B3 (Niacin). Extended release niacin supplements also work. A recent study in the American Journal of Cardiology shows it can raise HDL by almost 8% in just 3 months time
Eat more oranges. A study out of the University of Western Ontario showed a 21% increase in HDL
Aerobic exercise has been shown to significantly raise HDL levels
Decrease the amount of refined sugars and carbohydrates in your diet
Eat more raw yellow or white onions. Dr. Victor Gurewich of Tufts University found that a raw onion per day can raise HDL as much as 30%
Avoid trans fats
Macadamia nuts. One study out of the University of Newcastle showed an HDL increase of 8%.
Polyphenols in Olive Oil. One recent study in the Annals of Internal Medicine showed the higher the polyphenol content in olive oil, the higher the HDL is raised.
Eat more fish. Fish oil supplementation has also shown to work
Cranberries may increase HDL. A recent study published in the British Journal of Nutrition showed cranberry juice significantly boosted HDL
Stop Smoking. In just 8 weeks, your HDL will begin to significantly rise.

^^ thanks bro.I have a feeling my hrt dose is whats causing it. Im on 150mg testcyp and 500iu hcg 2x per week. Also was on 50mg proviron duing the test. I bet if I ditched the proviron and droped the test to 125mg and the hcg to 250iu 2x per week it would go back in range.
