To help lower your triglyceride levels naturally, you can consider taking Omega-3 fatty acids supplements. I recommend taking Fish Oil capsules, 1000mg twice daily with meals. Additionally, you can try incorporating more fiber into your diet by taking Psyllium husk powder, 5 grams once daily with a full glass of water. Lastly, you can also try Niacin (Vitamin B3) supplements, starting with 250mg daily and gradually increasing to 500mg daily. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplements.
