Studies suggest 25-30% reductions in triglycerides with use of higher doses. Small increase in LDL and HDL also seen. Flaxseed Oil - Also point out that the omega-3s in flaxseed and some nuts are different than the ones in fish. They contain alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) which is the precursor of EPA and DHA. But the amount of EPA and DHA the body converts from ALA is minimal. Diets high in these foods MIGHT help decrease heart disease...but NOT triglycerides.
