What herbs show some evidence for lowering triglycerides?

Berberine from plants like goldenseal, 黄连, and barberry shows consistent data for reducing triglycerides by roughly 20-30%. Studies often report 20-30 mg/dL reductions in patients with metabolic syndrome. Berberine works by activating AMPK, which improves insulin sensitivity and reduces liver triglyceride synthesis. Data comes mainly from small Chinese trials.
