Fish Oil Facts

Here are two more studies showing the benefits of fish oil.

1. Fish oil has been shown to lower levels of LDLs in the blood in a manner similar to the action of statins (e.g. Lipitor). 2005 M. Studer and colleagues found that statins decreased cardiac mortality risk 22% and overall mortality by 13%. Omega-3 Fish Oils were found to decrease cardiac mortality risk by 32% and overall mortality by 23%.

2. Studies have found 2-4 grams of daily fish oil in conjuction with dietary modification can lower triglyceride levels by 20 to 50 percent in patients with mild or persistant hypertriglyceridemia.
