Active Ingredients used for Pure Hyperglyceridemia:

Coenzyme Q10, Green Tea, Omega 3 Fatty Acids Fish Oil Alpha Linolenic Acid, Vitamin D

Active Ingredient	Uses based on scientific evidence	Grade*
coenzyme q10	early study of coq10 for high triglyceride levels in the blood is unclear.	c
green tea (camellia sinensis)	laboratory, animal, and limited human research suggest possible effects of green tea on triglyceride levels. better human evidence is necessary in this area.	c
omega-3 fatty acids, fish oil, alpha-linolenic acid	there is strong scientific evidence from human trials that omega-3 fatty acids from fish or fish oil supplements (epa + dha) significantly reduce blood triglyceride levels. benefits appear to be dose-dependent. fish oil supplements also appear to cause small improvements in high-density lipoprotein ("good cholesterol"); however, increases (worsening) in low-density lipoprotein levels (ldl/"bad cholesterol") have also been observed. it is not clear if alpha-linolenic acid significantly affects	a
vitamin d	there is insufficient evidence in this area.	c
