Triglycerides - Lowering

Alkaloids

 Berberine may lower total serum Triglycerides levels.  ^[1]

 Capsaicin may lower serum Triglycerides levels.  ^[2]

 Dihydrocapsaicin may lower elevated serum Triglycerides levels.  ^[3]

Amino Acids

 Arginine may lower elevated serum Triglycerides levels.  ^[4]

 Elevated serum Triglyceride levels may occur as a symptom of Carnitine deficiency and supplemental Carnitine may significantly reduce serum Triglycerides levels.  ^[5]

 Creatine Monohydrate may lower elevated serum Triglycerides levels.  ^[6]

 Lysine may lower elevated serum Triglycerides levels. 

 Taurine may lower elevated serum Triglycerides levels.  ^[7]

Carbohydrates

 Chitosan may lower total serum Triglycerides levels.  ^[8]

 Chondroitin Sulfate (3,000 mg per day) may lower total serum Triglycerides levels by up to 27%. 

 Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) may lower serum Triglycerides levels (by inhibiting the ability of the Liver to convert Fatty Acids into Triglycerides).  ^[9]

 Guar Gum may lower total serum Triglycerides levels.  ^[10]

 Gum Arabic (6,000 mg per day) may lower serum Triglyceride levels by up to 50%. 

 Inulin may lower elevated serum Triglycerides levels.  ^[11]

 Rhamnose may lower elevated Triglycerides levels.  ^[12]

 Psyllium may lower elevated serum Triglycerides levels.  ^[13]

Carotenoids

 Astaxanthin may lower elevated serum Triglycerides levels.  ^[14]

 Crocetin may lower elevated serum Triglycerides levels.  ^[15]

 Crocin may lower elevated serum Triglycerides levels.  ^[16]

Electromagnetic Radiation

 Moderate exposure to Sunlight may lower serum Triglycerides levels.

Enzymes

 Lipoprotein Lipase catalyzes the breakdown of the Triglycerides contained within some types of Lipoproteins (Very Low Density Lipoproteins (VLDL) and Chylomicrons) into their constituent Fatty Acids and Glycerol - for uptake into Adipose Tissue which can contribute to obesity.

Hormones

 Adrenaline (via stimulation of Beta-3 Adrenergic Receptors) increases the conversion of Triglycerides stored in Adipose Tissue to Fatty Acids and Glycerol for utilization in the endogenous production of Energy (i.e. Adrenaline stimulates ).

 DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) may lower serum Triglycerides levels.  ^[17]

 Progesterone may lower elevated serum Triglycerides levels.  ^[18]

Lipids

 Acetic Acid may lower total serum Triglycerides levels.  ^[19]

 Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) may lower serum Triglyceride levels.  ^[20]

 Cycloartenol may lower elevated serum Triglycerides.  ^[21]

 Octacosanol may lower elevated serum Triglyceride levels.  ^[22]

 Omega-3 Fatty Acids may lower serum Triglycerides levels:  ^[23]

 Elevated serum Triglyceride levels can occur as a result of Alpha-Linolenic Acid (LNA) deficiency - supplemental LNA may lower serum Triglyceride levels by up to 65%.  ^[24]

 Clupanodonic Acidmay lower serum Triglyceride levels. 

 Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) may lower serum Triglyceride levels.  ^[25]

 Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) may lower elevated serum Triglycerides levels.  ^[26]

 Eicosatetraenoic Acid (ETA) may lower serum Triglyceride levels. 

 Stearidonic Acid (SDA) may lower serum Triglyceride levels. 

 Supplemental Phosphatidylcholine (12,000 mg per day) lowers serum Triglyceride levels by up to 23%.  ^[27]

 Squalene may lower elevated serum Triglycerides levels.  ^[28]

Minerals

 Chromium may lower the body's Triglyceride levels.  ^[29]

 Magnesium may help to lower elevated serum Triglyceride levels (where elevated serum Triglycerides occur as a result of Cholesterol loading).  ^[30]

 Vanadium deficiency may cause Triglyceride levels to rise.
