Prescription omega-3 fatty acids and their lipid effects: physiologic mechanisms
of action and clinical implications - Expert Rev Cardiovasc Ther. 2008
Mar;6(3):391-409 - "Hypertriglyceridemia is a risk
factor for atherosclerotic coronary heart disease. Very high triglyceride (TG)
levels (>/=500 mg/dl [5.65 mmol/l]) increase the risk of pancreatitis. One
therapeutic option to lower TG levels is omega-3 fatty acids, which are derived
from the oil of fish and other seafood. The American Heart Association has
acknowledged that fish oils may decrease dysrhythmias, decrease sudden death,
decrease the rate of atherosclerosis and slightly lower blood pressure, and has
recommended fish consumption or fish oil supplementation as a therapeutic
strategy to reduce cardiovascular disease. A prescription omega-3-acid ethyl
esters (P-OM3) preparation has been available in many European nations for at
least a decade, and was approved by the US FDA in 2004 to reduce very high TG
levels (>/=500 mg/dl [5.65 mmol/l]). Mechanistically, most evidence suggests
that omega-3 fatty acids reduce the synthesis and secretion of very-low-density
lipoprotein (VLDL) particles, and increase TG removal from VLDL and chylomicron
particles through the upregulation of enzymes, such as lipoprotein lipase.
Omega-3 fatty acids differ mechanistically from other lipid-altering drugs,
which helps to explain why therapies such as P-OM3 have complementary mechanisms
of action and, thus, complementary lipid benefits when administered with
statins" - See Mega Twin EPA at

Omega3
Fatty acids for cardioprotection - Mayo Clin Proc. 2008 Mar;83(3):324-32 -
"The most compelling evidence for the cardiovascular
benefit provided by omega-3 fatty acids comes from 3 large controlled trials of
32,000 participants randomized to receive omega-3 fatty acid supplements
containing docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) or to act
as controls. These trials showed reductions in cardiovascular events of 19% to
45%. These findings suggest that intake of omega-3 fatty acids, whether from
dietary sources or fish oil supplements, should be increased, especially in
those with or at risk for coronary artery disease. Patients should consume both
DHA and EPA. The target DHA and EPA consumption levels are about 1 g/d for those
with known coronary artery disease and at least 500 mg/d for those without
disease. Patients with hypertriglyceridemia benefit from treatment with 3 to 4
g/d of DHA and EPA, a dosage that lowers triglyceride levels by 20% to 50%.
Although 2 meals of oily fish per week can provide 400 to 500 mg/d of DHA and
EPA, secondary prevention patients and those with hypertriglyceridemia must use
fish oil supplements if they are to reach 1 g/d and 3 to 4 g/d of DHA and EPA,
respectively" - See

I take both because the percentage of omega-3 (EPA and DHA) is very low in other
supplements. I don't know what the rest of that oil is but your not saving
anything by getting supplements with a low percentage. Just do the math
plus if the rest of the oil is an omega-6 you're not helping the omega-6/omega-3
ratio.

Resveratrol attenuates the expression of HMG-CoA reductase mRNA in hamsters

contained diet significantly decreased Apo B, Lp(a), and
cholesterol-ester-transport protein (CETP) concentrations, but increased Apo A-I
levels and the Apo A-I/Apo B ratio. The contents of cholesterol and triglyceride

"Studies show that niacin (B3) in doses of 1.5 grams to 3 grams lower triglycerides levels and raise

elevate levels of HDL while lowering serum triglyceride levels. In the Journal of Molecular Cell Biochemistry, curcumin has been demonstrated, in vivo, to decrease triglycerides and increase HDL. In a study published in 1989 by the Journal of Associated Physicians-India, 125 patients
receiving gugulipid showed a drop of 16.8% in triglycerides, and a 60% increase in HDL cholesterol within three to four weeks. Make sure you are taking at least six Mega EPA fish oil capsules daily, as low dose fish oil may not adequately suppress
