Supplementation with the probiotic L. bulgaricus may not be helpful for losing weight, but it has the potential to decrease blood triglyceride levels, a new trial has reported.
South Korea’s Rural Development Administration (RDA) is exploring the use of Platycodon grandiflorum, commonly known as balloon flower or Chinese bellflower, as a health functional food after studies showed that it could lower blood triglyceride levels.
Researchers in Australia found that pre-menopausal women supplemented with 1 g of DHA-rich tuna oil had significantly lowered triglyceride levels compared to those who took the placebo.
