Comparing two omega-3 supplements for high triglycerides
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of omega-3 supplements (one with phospholipids, one conventional) to see which works better for lowering blood fats and reducing inflammation. If you have high triglycerides and are already taking a statin, this study may help improve your heart health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Be 18 years old or older
- Have a diagnosis of mixed dyslipidemia (abnormal blood fat levels)

- Have a body mass index (BMI) of 27 or higher
- Have high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) greater than 2 mg/L (a sign of inflammation)
