How it works

Omega-3s primarily reduce triglycerides by decreasing liver production. They also modestly raise HDL and may improve LDL particle size.

High doses (4g+) should be discussed with a doctor. May have mild blood-thinning effects. Fish oil can cause fishy aftertaste — enteric-coated capsules help.

Why strong evidence

Strong evidence for triglyceride reduction (20–30% at 4g/day). Effect on LDL is modest but the overall cardiovascular risk reduction is well established.

Noticeably less frequent issues after about a month of consistent use. Worth sticking with.

Good results overall. Had to adjust the approach slightly but found what worked for me. Would recommend trying it.

Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.
