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.

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.

Thanks so much for your suggestions!

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.

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