The National Institutes of Health explains Triglycerides as follows: 'Triglycerides are a type of fat.   Your body makes some triglycerides. Triglycerides also come from the food you eat.  Extra calories are turned into triglycerides and stored in fat cells for later use.  If you eat more calories than your body needs, your triglyceride level may be high.  A test for high blood cholesterol levels is a related measurement.'

Our Try Gly Balance formula includes Garlic, Reishi, Beet Root, Ginger and Fennel, among others.  This ratio of herbs provides optimal results.
