Over 230. With a high ratio of LDL ("bad" cholesterol).
The goal with heart disease and diabetes is to keep it below 180, with higher HDL cholesterol (the "good" cholesterol). Don't want to go too low, as the body actually needs cholesterol to live. 160 to 180 would be perfect. 200 concern over diet. Above 210 changes in diet is recommended. 230 and with changes in diet, Statins are usually prescribed -- especially to high risk patients (and heredity is a key factor, too).

I take Garlique every morning and my cholesterol has been around 160 for the last 3 years, which is a very good level. I believe the Garlique helps.

Levels of 300 to 400 will put you in danger zone?

200 to 239 is borderline. Over that is a danger level. Shoot for under 200.

Usually when it reaches around 200 you should start getting worried.
