Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine whether CaPre(TM), given at doses 1.0g or 2.0g for 12 weeks, has an effect on fasting plasma triglycerides in patients with mild to high hypertriglyceridemia as compared to a placebo.

- Patients who are currently not on pharmacotherapy for hyperlipidemia and according to the judgement of the physician and Canadian Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Dyslipidemia initiation of drug therapy is not indicated for the duration of the study.
- Patients currently treated with statins and according to the judgement of the physician and the Canadian Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Dyslipidemia a change in their current drug regimen is not indicated for the duration of the study.
- Patients treated with statin must be on stable dose for at least 6 weeks prior to screening.
- Patients are willing follow the NCEP Step 1 Diet (see Appendix 4) for the duration of the study.
