Hi,

I am in Bangalore. I have been detected with very high Triglycerides. I did had a test done after consuming Lipicard 160 for 4 months; still didn't help though. The numbers in test results as follows,

SERUM CHOLESTEROL 146 (Normal <200)
SERUM TRIGLYCERIDES 358 (Normal 35-160)
HDL CHOLESTEROL 35 (Normal 35-55)
LDL CHOLESTEROL 90 (Normal 100-130)
VLDL CHOLESTEROL 71 (Normal 7-33)
SERUM ALBUMIN 5 (Normal 3.4-4.8)

Now my questions:

1. Can this high numbers lead to any disease ? Liver disease ? (very much worried Sad

)

2. How can i reduce these bad numbers ? Please let me know any medicated food products or supplements which can be taken daily ?

Please also let me know if there are any other heads-up.

Thanks very much

Cleonsjoy,

The role of triglycerides in disease is still not that well known. And most the the research that has been done, has found that the negative impact of having high triglycerides, is probably because people with high triglycerides also have a low HDL level.

While you do have elevated triglycerides, they are not at the very high level, which is considered over 500.

Triglyceride levels can be reduced by exercise, omega-3 fatty acids from fish, flax seed oil, and a low carbohydrate diet.

Good luck.

Hi Gaelic,

Thanks very much on your reply. I am somewhat bit relaxed now. However, will do keep in mind on ways to reduce it and will start working on it.
