Triglycerides are another type of fat in your blood. High triglycerides raise your risk of a heart attack or stroke. Keeping your triglycerides low protects your heart.

Triglycerides and cholesterols go up in about 15% of patients while they are losing weight. Triglycerides will come down if you persist with the diet and keep losing weight. They will also come down when you stop losing. There is no reason to measure more than every 3-6 months unless you go off the diet or they stop changing.

The table below includes standard fasting levels. The LDL cholesterol target level is reduced in those who have risk factors. With one risk factor, the target is less than 160 mg/dl, with 2 factors the target is less than 130 mg/dl, and those with heart disease have a target level less than 100. Insulin resistance, diabetes, obesity, and family history are some of the risk factors, so those with PCOS should have a target range of less than 130.

High serum levels of triglycerides represent an important risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis. The association between serum triglyceride levels and CAD has been demonstrated in univariate analysis in the Framingham Heart Study, in the M?nster PROCAM study and in the Helsinki Heart Study [Castelli, 1992; Assmann and Schulte, 1992; Manninen et al., 1992].

The best way to improve levels is through diet, exercise and weight loss for those who are overweight. In some cases, medications may be used to lower cholesterol levels, but those attempting pregnancy should not use these. Exercise can be particularly beneficial as it can help increase good cholesterol and helps the body metabolize sugar.

That’s a good question. First of all it lowers triglycerides because Bios Life traps fat in the digestive tract. Fat of course is the direct source of triglycerides, so that is a major effect. Also, Bios Life improves HDL; and HDL is known to pick up extra triglycerides in the blood stream and remove them from the body.

There is no benefit in consuming extra calories (each gram of MCT yields 9 calories) during a fat and/or weight-loss program. Therefore, the additional MCT calories would only be used for energy in lieu of fat stores and consequently slow fat loss.

We do talk about it. Triglycerides are a very important additional risk for cardio vascular disease and metabolic syndrome. This is a big problem for diabetics the triglyceride values are the values that respond the quickest to Bios Life intervention. Our studies show that, on average, 40% of triglycerides are being reduced when you take Bios Life in a period of eight weeks.
