Clinical Evidence
A 2019 study in the New England Journal of Medicine (PMID: 30415628) demonstrated that icosapent ethyl (purified EPA) reduced cardiovascular events by 25% in patients with elevated triglycerides. Triglycerides above 150 mg/dL independently increase cardiovascular and pancreatitis risk.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a normal triglycerides level?
Normal triglycerides are below 150 mg/dL. Borderline high is 150 to 199, high is 200 to 499, and very high is 500 mg/dL or above.
How long does it take to improve triglycerides levels?
Dietary changes (reducing refined carbs, sugar, and alcohol) can lower triglycerides by 20% to 50% within 2 to 4 weeks. Medications like fibrates work within 1 to 2 weeks.
Should I take supplements to improve my triglycerides?
Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA+DHA at 2 to 4 g/day) lower triglycerides by 15% to 30%. Prescription omega-3 (icosapent ethyl) has the strongest cardiovascular evidence. Over-the-counter fish oil is less potent.
