What are triglycerides?
Triglycerides are a type of fat found in your blood. Your body uses them for energy.
You need some triglycerides for good health. But high triglycerides can raise your risk of heart disease and may be a sign of metabolic syndrome.
Metabolic syndrome is the combination of high blood pressure, high blood sugar, too much fat around the waist, low HDL ("good") cholesterol, and high triglycerides. Metabolic syndrome increases your risk for heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.
A blood test that measures your cholesterol also measures your triglycerides. For a general idea about your triglycerides level, compare your test results to the following:
Normal is less than 150.
Borderline-high is 150 to 199.
High is 200 to 499.
Very high is 500 or higher.
What causes high triglycerides?
High triglycerides are usually caused by other conditions, such as:
Obesity.
Poorly controlled diabetes.
An underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism).
Kidney disease.
Regularly eating more calories than you burn.
Drinking a lot of alcohol.
Certain medicines may also raise triglycerides. These medicines include:
Tamoxifen.
Steroids.
Beta-blockers.
Diuretics.
Estrogen.
Birth control pills.
In a few cases, high triglycerides also can run in families.
What are the symptoms?
High triglycerides usually don't cause symptoms.
But if your high triglycerides are caused by a genetic condition, you may see fatty deposits under your skin. These are called xanthomas (say "zan-THOH-muhs").
How can you lower your high triglycerides?
You can make diet and lifestyle changes to help lower your levels.
Stay at a healthy weight.
Limit fats and sugars in your diet.
Be more active.
Quit smoking.
Limit alcohol.
You also may need medicine to help lower your triglycerides, but your doctor likely will ask you to try diet and lifestyle changes first.

Read some testimonials here after taking Bios Life Slim:
Hi Todd,
I got the results of my blood work back this afternoon (11/17/08). Total cholesterol is at 173. Started at 368 in May. Triglycerides dropped from 169 to 115. That should help to add to my story with the 54 pounds and 22 inches lost so far.
Have a blessed day!
Sincerely,
John Denman

I thought I would update you on my progress with Bios Slim because I was stalemated for awhile.
I still weigh 165 but I am in size 8 pants down from 14!!!!
I can’t believe it. My blood pressure was never high but it is back to being quite low, I don’t crave sweets and when I chose to eat them can’t eat much at all. I have more energy. I sleep better.
I have only gone down 1 size on the top darn it wouldn’t mind a little more off there and the waist but maybe it will come.
I had upped my Bios Slim to 3x/day. I have gone back down to twice for now. I don’t want to get top heavy!!!!!
I have a friend on it now who has already lost an inch from her middle in a week.

Hey Esther,
I just want to give you an update regarding my progress on Bios Life Slim. Again, I love the product. I have been using BLS for 7 weeks, in the first week and a half I lost 7lbs then the next week I lost another 4lbs. Since then I have not lost any more weight but I lost inches. I am fitting clothes that I have not been able to wear in years. I am very comfortable in a size 12 and it will only get better from here.
Other people are taking notice and giving me compliments.
Love,
Carrie
