Curcumin & Astaxanthin for Lowering Triglyceride Readings and Inflammation

Two dietary supplements are each being compared to a placebo for the ability to help maintain triglycerides in the normal range. The subjects will be adult men and women with moderately high TG values. Serum triglycerides will be measured before and after 6 weeks of taking 1 capsule per day of either Longvida Curcumin, astaxanthin, or a placebo. A few side blood analysis will also be done. These measures are relevant to low level inflammation.
