Magno Lipids
Triglycerides on TRT
What the number means, why it moves on a protocol, and what people usually do about it.
What it is
Triglycerides are fat in transit, mostly from carbohydrate and alcohol. They swing with the last meal, which is why fasting matters for this one.
The range
TRT-aware target
under 100 mg/dL
How to read the lab range
Under 150 mg/dL (1.7 mmol/L) is normal; under 100 (1.1) is where people aim. Above 200 (2.3) with a low HDL is the metabolic pattern.
Why it moves on a protocol
- Not fasting before the draw.
- Alcohol, refined carbohydrate, a big bulk.
- Insulin resistance; growth hormone and MK-677 push it the wrong way.
What people usually do · not a recommendation
- Fast 10 to 12 hours before the draw.
- Cut alcohol and refined carbohydrate first; omega-3 at 2 to 4 g a day helps a stubborn one.
How Magno reads it
Import the PDF or a photo of the report and Magno finds Triglycerides on it, keeps every test on one line, shows the change since the last one, and reads it against TRT-aware thresholds rather than the lab's generic range. The panel it belongs to, Lipids, gets a written verdict with the probable causes and what people usually do.

Questions people ask
Do I need to fast for triglycerides?
Yes. A non-fasting result can be double the fasting one. Most other markers do not care.
