High Triglycerides: What They Are, Where They Come From In short, triglycerides are the principal fats, or lipids, a mixture of fatty acids and glycerol, circulating in the blood. Like cholesterol, triglycerides, as a normal substance found in the bloodstream, are necessary for life itself. They are chains of high-energy fatty acids providing much of the fuel needed for body cells to function. A molecule of triglyceride is composed of a backbone of glycerol (an alcohol) to which three fatty acids ("tri") are bound. Any combination of saturated, monounsaturated, or polyunsaturated fatty acids can be in a triglyceride molecule. A good way to envision a triglyceride molecule is to look at your hand. Hold out the three center fingers and fold back the thumb and little finger. The three fingers are the three fatty acids and your hand is the glycerol. As the three fingers are different, so the three fatty acids in a triglyceride can be different. The fatty acids can be long or short, saturated (stiff) or unsaturated (bendable). Triglycerides are included in such substances as:
As found in the bloodstream, triglycerides are fats being transported from intestines to body cells. They may originate from two sources:
Dietary (food) fats, are absorbed through the gut. They assemble in the intestines into special packets called chylomicrons, and then are delivered through the bloodstream to the liver, where they are processed. One of the main jobs of the liver is to make sure that all the tissues of the body receive the triglycerides they need to function at optimal levels. Whenever possible (i.e., for about 8 hours after a meal), the liver takes up dietary triglycerides from the chylomicrons produced in the intestines. However, since fats are not soluble in water and, because the liquid part of blood is made up with water, the liver packages triglycerides, along with special proteins, into tiny packages -spheres called very low density lipoprotein, or VLDL. In this form, they are released into the circulation and delivered to the cells of the body. The body’s cells remove triglycerides from the VLDLs only when they need them. Any excessive amounts of triglycerides, or VLDLs, in the bloodstream just float there - causing problems. Fasting Triglyceride Levels Triglycerides test results are reported as numerical values rather than as "high" or "low", or "normal". Therefore, it is necessary to know the reference range for the test which may vary by person's age, sex, etc. What does the resault of fasting triglycerides test mean? In May, 2001, the U.S. National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP), a division of the National Institutes of Health, released new recommendations on who should be treated for elevated triglyceride levels. These recommendations asked that in adults fasting blood triglyceride levels of
According to the Canadian guideline, in adults fasting blood triglyceride levels of
Measurement Units
Triglycerides are measured in metric units - either:
A deciliter (dL) is 1/10 of a liter or about 1/4 of a pint. A mole is an amount of a substance (in this case, triglyceride) that contains a certain number of molecules or atoms. A millimole (mmol) is 1/1,000 of a mole. To convert triglycerides from mg/dL to mmol/L, multiply by 0.01129. To convert from mmol/L to mg/dL, multiply by 88.6. To convert cholesterol from mg/dL to mmol/L, multiply by 0.02586. To convert cholesterol from mmol/L to mg/dL, multiply by 38.7. Causes of High Blood Triglycerides
There are many conditions which can cause the liver to form high levels of triglycerides. Usually, it happens if you
However, the most common reason for having elevated triglycerides is blood sugar - its availability and handling. Physical Signs of Elevated Triglycerides Fairly common on the eyelids, xanthomas - yellow, soft and slightly raised non-contagious bumps made of cholesterol deposits - are a sign of elevated cholesterol levels. However, xantomas can occur as pin-head sized yellow bumps on other areas of the body, such as bony elbows, knees and heels, and become eruptive.
In all people, eruptive xanthomas are a sign of elevated blood triglyceride levels.
The Test for Triglycerides
Since risk of heart disease is based mainly on cholesterol levels (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL), not triglycerides, the test for triglycerides is not often ordered alone. Usually, you get tested for triglycerides
However, if you are diabetic, it is very important to have your triglycerides measured. Diabetes can increase triglycerides significantly, especially if or when your blood sugar is out of control. Most healthy people over 40 should get their triglycerides tested at least once a year. The test for triglycerides - using a blood sample drawn from a vein or a fingertip - should be done when
After a weekend of beer and pizza, Monday bloodwork readings tend to be higher than on the other days; therefore, take your weekend activities into account when having your test for blood triglycerides done. For 12 to 14 hours before the test, only water is permitted. In other words, nothing except water is permitted from bedtime until you get your bloodwork done next morning when a lab opens. In addition, alcohol should not be consumed for the 24 hours just before the test. Anything taken in, other than water, during that time can elevate the triglycerides as they change dramatically in response to meals, increasing as much as 5 to10 times higher than fasting levels just a few hours after eating. However, even fasting levels may vary considerably day to day. Therefore modest changes in fasting triglycerides measured on different days are not considered to be abnormal. Interpretation of Lab Values High triglycerides are usually accompanied by high total cholesterol. Although risk of heart disease is based on cholesterol levels, the type of drug treatment used to lower cholesterol may differ, depending on whether triglycerides are "high" or "normal". When triglycerides are "very high" (greater than 1000 mg/dL [11.30 mmol/L]), there is a risk of developing pancreatitis (inflammation of pancreas). In this case, treatment to lower triglycerides should be started as soon as possible.
It has been shown that "atherogenic hyperlipidemia" starts at the triglyceride level 150 mg/dL (1.7 mmol/L), initiating degenerative changes in the cardiovascular system; therefore, the risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD) can be significantly reduced by more aggressively treating elevated blood triglyceride levels. However, there is still no consensus regarding the value necessitating initiation of triglyceride treatment. According to many physicians the need for implementation of proper dietary habits begins at the triglyceride level over 200 mg/dL (2.3 mmol/L) and pharmacological (drug) treatment should be started at the triglyceride level over 300 mg/dL (3.4 mmol/L). According to some experts, however, an elevated level of triglycerides is the most significant predictor of heart disease in women, with levels above 190 mg/dL denoting increased risk. In males, the danger level starts over 400 mg/dL. The Ideal Blood Lipid Ratios The published evidence is quite clear in documenting that the actual cholesterol level itself is not the most important risk factor of cardiovascular disease. It is the ratio between the level of HDL-"good" cholesterol and total cholesterol. HDL-"good" cholesterol/total cholesterol ratio in adults:
Triglyceride/HDL-"good" cholesterol ratio in adults:
TGs Reduction Formula: Advanced Blood Lipid Support The core of the natural method of lowering elevated blood triglycerides is Triglyceride TGs Reduction Formula (TGs stands for "triglycerides"). It is a specialty dietary formulation of selected nutrients supporting the metabolism of lipids (fats) and carbohydrates (sugars/starches) in the body. Nutritional factors - naturally occurring substances, not drugs whose substances are foreign to the body - are able to boost the body chemistry by:
In our clinical experience, TGs Reduction Formula helps
It has been introduced to people with high blood triglycerides in 44 countries. This all-natural combination of 70 nutrients and phytonutrients (plant nutrients) not only keeps your blood fats in check (as drugs do), but actually helps your body rebuild the organs and systems that control your blood lipids - without side effects. No wonder, Triglyceride TGs Reduction Formula can produce results that doctors have rarely seen before, even with hard-core prescription drugs. And, unlike pharmaceutical drugs, it is very body-friendly. High Triglycerides: Getting to the Root of the Problem
However, if you choose to take a drug to 'solve' the underlying reason as to why your body is making too many triglycerides, then well over 95 percent of the time you will be making a choice which will promote disease rather than promote your health.
According to orthomolecular nutrition, as far as the cardiovascular system is concerned, if the right building blocks (i.e. nutrients) are present in the body, in the right amounts, and at the right time, the body will respond positively.
In other words, if you want to lower your triglyceride levels you need to get to the root of the problem. Look at it this way, by pulling a dandelion out by its leaves, you are not going to get very far. Positive Reactions: Testimonials

Whether or not you are taking drugs, using the Tgs Reduction Formula is something you can do on your own - and get results. Ingredients: Adrenal, Liver, Pancreas Concentrates Due to the outbreak of bovine spongiforn encephalopathy (BSE), also known as Mad Cow disease, some of you may have concerns with the glandular concentrates in the Triglyceride TGs Reduction Formula, namely, adrenal, liver and pancreas. We are sure that the following information will help you feel confident about the quality of these concentrates used in our formula. Your primary concern may be with our use of the glandular concentrates and the outbreak of bovine spongiforn encephalopathy (BSE), also known as Mad Cow disease - a chronic, degenerative disease which affects the central nervous system in cattle. Scientists believe that this disease developed and crossed species to infect humans due to the fact that the cattle in England were fed animal by-products, such as bone meal and brains from cross-specied ruminants, specifically sheep. However, cows are herbivores and do not have a digestive system capable of breaking down and absorbing animal proteins! New Zealand, United States, Argentina, Australia, Denmark, Canada and the Asian continent are considered to be free of BSE due to the fact that animal by-products are not permitted in cattle feed. At HealthSELECT, we use only glandular concentrates that are imported exclusively from New Zealand bovine and sheep as they are grass-fed, free range, and government-certified free of disease, herbicides, pesticides and synthetic hormones. It also needs to be noted that New Zealand prohibits ruminant meat or bone meal-derived feed to be used for feeding livestock. Therefore, with New Zealand grass-fed, pasture-based management systems and the prohibition of imported animal feed, there is an extremely low likelihood of BSE entering the cattle population. Glandular concentrates are made by removing surgically excess fat from the glands of animals, usually cattle and sheep. Next, the tissue is frozen rapidly at an extremely low temperature and then dehydrated in a vacuum. All possible moisture is removed by this process known as lyophilization. No solvents of any kind are used in this process, while all desirable nutritional factors of the original glands are retained and maintain their stability for an extended period of time. Glandular concentrates are completely safe. They are not hormones, nor do they contain hormones, or act as hormones, and neither do they depress the body's production of hormones. They merely provide specific raw material to help glands repair themselves, in order to function better. We hope that the above will allay your concerns and help you feel confident of the quality of the glandular concentrates used in Triglyceride TGs Reduction Formula. TGs Reduction Formula: Absorption Ability As digestion and absorption vary from person to person, TGs Reduction Formula is regularly tested for its disintegration time - i.e. the time it takes for the tablets to break down completely in the stomach. This digestive process needs about half-an-hour to disintegrate in gastric fluid - far less time than the 60 minutes required by Canadian regulations. As a result, this rapid rate of disintegration helps the nutrients in TGs Reduction Formula to reach the small intestine in their purest form; therefore, enabling increased absorption. TGs Reduction Formula: Recommended Daily Dosage As a complete "multi" providing optimal levels of nutrients to support people with high blood triglycerides, TGs Reduction Formula comes in a tablet form and should be taken daily. Its intake, however, to a great degree, depends on your triglycerides level. The following recommendations, based on many years of clinical experience with TGs Reduction Formula, will help you determine your needs:
If your triglycerides level is between 150 mg/dL and 199 mg/dL, or 1.7 mmol/L - 2.3 mmol/L ("borderline high") - for best results, you should be on TGs Reduction Formula for at least 1 month, taking two (2) tablets twice daily with substantial meals.

TGs Reduction Fromula: Prescription Drugs Another concern raised by some clients is the possibility of conflict between prescription drugs and TGs Reduction Formula. The good news is that there is no conflict between the nutrients in the Formula and the use of prescription drugs. In fact they can be taken at the same time. The even better news is that, if you take prescription drugs, you need to be monitored regularly by your physician, as you may need to reduce the amount of the drugs you are taking. It should be noted that TGs Reduction Formula is NOT recommended for people with active cancer. On the other hand, it is ideal for health maintenance once the cancer has been overcome.
