Niacin, sometimes called nicotinic acid, can lower your triglycerides and your bad cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein, or LDL, cholesterol). It's typically reserved for people who have triglyceride levels over 500 mg/dL (5.7 mmol/L). Don't take over-the-counter niacin without talking to your doctor first.
The American Heart Association recommends that people who need to lower their triglycerides should, in consultation with their doctor, take 2 to 4 grams of fish oil a day; people with heart disease should consume about 1 gram a day of EPA and DPA (combined), preferably by eating fatty fish such as salmon.
