Answers:
The articles I've seen always mention 10 mg/dl as "too low" but if you're concerned I would talk to your doctor about it!.
"Extremely low triglycerides levels (less than 10 mg/dL) can also indicate a problem!. Low levels may indicate malnutrition (not enough nutrients in the diet), malabsorption (inadequate absorption of nutrients in the intestinal tract), a diet too low in fat, or an overactive thyroid problem!. "
I would any negative side effects of low triglycerides would be negative effects of the underlying cause like malnutrition or thyroid problems, and not so much the triglycerides, which are more of an indicator!.
If your doctor thinks you're at risk for any of these problems I'm sure he/she will let you know!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
