Statins
Stains are drugs that lower lipids/fat levels in the body that reduce illness and mortality in those who are at high risk of cardiovascular disease. The common types of statins for lowering ET are simvastatin, atorvastatin, and rosuvastatin. These medications help to raise high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol by up to fifty percent. The higher the baseline level of triglycerides the greater the percent reduction will be with statin treatment. Statins are commonly administered for cholesterol medication, but studies have shown that cholesterol medication also helps to regulate triglyceride levels in the body.
Fish oil supplements
Studies have shown that omega-3 fatty acids from fish or fish oil supplements can significantly reduce blood triglyceride levels. These supplements contain two omega-3 acids; EPA and DHA, which help to fight inflammation and prevent organ damage. Both acids are active ingredients of this supplement, and if administered in regular doses, they can help lower ET.
