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.
