METHODS LOWERING
High Triglyceride Levels
High Triglycerides / Hypertriglyceridemia

Triglycerides are fatty compounds that circulate in the
bloodstream and are stored in the fat tissue. People with
elevated triglyceride levels are at higher risks to develop
pancreatitis, enlarged liver and spleen, xanthomas and
heart disease. And, high triglycerides are often related to
diabetes. Niacin and gemfibrozil are commonly prescribed
to people with high triglycerides.

What should people with high triglyceride eat?
People with high triglycerides are often advised to reduce
their weights, the consumption of simple sugars (e.g.
sweets), saturated fats (meat, eggs and dairy products),
alcohol and caffeinated products (e.g. coffee and tea).
They should quit smoking if they smoke. Exercise lowers
triglyceride levels.

Are there any supplements or herbs can
lower the triglyceride levels?

Health supplements may have benefits for high
triglycerides include fish oil (EPA/DHA), niacin, pantethine,
inositol hexaniacinate and guggul.

Health supplements including herb extracts for lowering
high triglycerides with inconsistent, unclear or
unpredictable results (or at prelimarily stages) are calcium,
chromium, L-carnitine, fructo-oligosaccharides, policosanol,
garlic, fenugreek, psyllium seeds, and red yeast rice,
creatine monohydrate, fiber, and green tea.
