Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil possess the unique ability to reduce triglycerides. There's no doubt that omega-3s do this quite effectively. After all, the FDA approved prescription fish oil, LovazaÂ®, to treat a condition called familial hypertriglyceridemia, a genetic condition in which very high triglyceride levels, typically 500 mg/dl or greater, develop.
Some believe that it reduces the risk for heart disease. Taking 4-6 grams of fish oil can reduce triglycerides up to 50%. But, cholesterol does not decrease. The benefit of using EPA and DHA at 1-2 grams is less clear. The American Heart Association does recommend at least 1 gram of combined EPA and DHA daily by eating fish at least three times a week.
