High Triglycerides (Hypertriglyceridemia)
Supplements studied for high triglycerides (hypertriglyceridemia).
Overview
Four supplements are indexed for high triglycerides (53 studies). Fish Oil dominates with high effect size, very high evidence, very high trust, DEX Score 88 (46 studies). Prescription fish oil at about 4 g daily may lower triglycerides by 20–30% in very high levels; over-the-counter products often require much higher capsule counts for similar effects.
Alpha-Lipoic Acid and Inulin (both DEX Score 52; low effect size, high evidence, medium trust; 3 studies each) show mixed or modest triglyceride effects. Lysine (DEX Score 32; very low effect size, low evidence, medium trust; 1 study) did not change triglycerides over 12 weeks and slightly lowered HDL versus placebo.
