best brand of fish oil for high cholestrol

[DEWRDW]

If you take fish oil for high cholestrol - has your doctor recommended the best brand to buy - there are so many on the market? Thank you.

Check out USP certified brands, just my humble opinion.

I have dry eye syndrome and I am allergic to Restasis. I take Fish Oil from Sam's Club to help my dry eyes. It works!

Look into krill oil - I don't get the fishy after taste I get with fish oils. Same benefits.

I take Nature Made fish oil and also krill oil.

P.S. the good Lord will give you the first 50 years,
the second 50 you have to work for.

My golfing MD friend just told me if you take a statin for cholesterol there's no need to take fish oil which he said is not proven to work.

Taking fish oil has been recommended to my wife and I not only by cardiologist but by our ophthalmologist.

Shimpy, what dose fish oil do you take? I would like to try it for dry eye problems.

[rjm1cc]

Dr said any brand.
Note, read the label carefully as there might be a lot of filler

Thanks. It's on its way from Amazon. I hope it helps my dry eye syndrome. According to my reading about it, it should.

One out of 7 people suffer from long lasting constipation. Did you know that constipation could cause a person to have high cholesterol? Did your doctor ever tell you that?

[CFrance]

My golfing MD friend just told me if you take a statin for cholesterol there's no need to take fish oil which he said is not proven to work.
If I had high cholesterol, I would certainly try fish oil before resorting to a statin. Why go on a prescription drug with possible side effects if something more natural would work?It would only take a few months to determine if it works.

My Doc agrees with this.

He said, save your money.........improve eating habits, exercise, eat pickles and enjoy life.

From what I've read, doctors training all thru school and residency amounts to about a couple hours on nutrition and the science on this changes almost monthly. Their training is towards treating not preventing disease.
I love pickles but all that salt would put my blood pressure up.
