VEGALYSIS

Lipids (cholesterol)

Triglycerides — optimal range for vegans & vegetarians

Blood fats; a marker of carb and fat metabolism.

Optimal range

≤ 150 mg/dL

How a value is read

Optimal≤ 150 mg/dL
Above optimal150 – 200 mg/dL
Markedly high> 200 mg/dL

Bands are given in the marker's canonical unit; values in other units are converted automatically.

Why it matters on a plant-based diet

Raised by excess refined carbs, sugar and alcohol — a typical 'junk-food vegan' trap. Usually drop on a whole-food diet.

A single marker decides nothing

Deficiencies mask one another: high folate hides low B12, inflammation inflates ferritin, low zinc mimics iron deficiency. VEGALYSIS reads the whole picture and explains the links.
