The Truth About Fish Oil Supplements Not all fish oils are created equal. Despite popular belief, over-the-counter fish oil supplements do not reduce the risk of heart disease. Only prescription-strength fish oil has been shown to lower cardiovascular risk, BUT only in patients who have high triglycerides (>150 mg/dL) while on statin therapy with: ✅ Established atherosclerotic heart disease, or ✅ Diabetics with atleast two cardiovascular risk factors So before you spend money on supplements that promise “heart protection,” talk to your doctor first. - Dr. Hack 🖤 #Cardiologist #HeartHealth #FishOil
