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?
An American Heart Association science advisory reports that omega-3 fatty acids providing about 4 g/day of EPA and DHA can lower triglycerides by 30% or more (PMID: 31422671). Among omega-3 options, the prescription EPA agent icosapent ethyl has the strongest cardiovascular outcome evidence.
