Default best brand of fish oil for high cholestrol
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.

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.

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.

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