My triglycerides were found to be over 1600 due to genetics. Several years of statin drugs could only get them down to around 400 and my doctor said that was as good as it was ever going to be.  I don’t know how long it took since I only get my blood tested once a year, kind of a birthday check up, but last April my triglycerides were at 415 and this April, after being on Tikva for most of it, they are at 194! That’s a 53% drop.  My LDL went from unmeasurable because the triglycerides were so high to 83 (in the normal range).  

And my cholesterol went from 206 to 153, a 26% drop (also in the normal range).  My HDL raised only 3 points but I must confess there was no exercise involved other than yard work. I hope to change that this year and improve even more.*
