Reply to comment by AusterEos in Heart-health supplements ineffective at reducing bad cholesterol. Six widely used dietary supplements promoted for improving heart health – including brands of fish oil, cinnamon, garlic and turmeric – were not effective at lowering “bad” cholesterol more than placebo after 28 days of use. by MistWeaver80

Certainly, a lifestyle change would be effective compared to just adding a supplement. 6 months of meaningful lifestyle change do better than drug therapy.

The thing is lifestyle change takes effort and commitment. Supplements do not. So for most people the latter is a more accessible choice.

I don't mean that supplements are not important. I'm trying to say that supplements are better than drugs in the long run if there is no established pathology.
