Does fish oil really decrease your triglycerides?

Question: I went to the cardiologist for a liver profile and cholesterol panel and he said my triglycerides were 287 and told me to start taking fish oil capsules and be re checked. Anyone have any experience with these otc capsules and do they help? He said take a couple a day. How much do most people take?

Answers:
A DR. WHO TELLS YOU ABOUT FISH OIL. HE'S A KEEPER. MOST WANT TO PRESCRIBE SOMETHING FOR YOU. I'M ALSO TAKING FISH OIL FOR MY DRY EYES. TAKE 1 IN THE AM AND 1 IN THE PM. SHOULD NOTICE A CHANGE IN A MONTH OR 2. GOOD LUCK.

Certain fish oils (those rich in omega-3 fatty acids) are known to reduce triglycerides in the blood of certain people.

I eat 3 servings a week of those kind of fish, but don't take those pills. You should take the pills scupulously and report back to your doctor, because 287 is a a high triclyceride level that should be lowered without delay if possible.
