Can Triglyceride help with Sport?

Triglycerides serve as a key energy source during prolonged endurance exercise, stored in muscle and adipose tissue. However, elevated blood triglycerides are not beneficial for sport performance; they are a cardiovascular risk factor. There is no strong evidence that supplementing with triglycerides improves athletic outcomes. Metabolic adaptation of fat oxidation occurs through training and diet, not isolated supplements. The evidence is primarily mechanistic; human trials on triglyceride supplementation for sport are lacking. Caution: high fasting triglycerides warrant medical evaluation.
