American Heart Association (AHA) fish, fish oil, and oil intake (68):

Omega-3 fish oil is beneficial for treatment of elevated triglycerides. Patients needing triglyceride lowering, should have fish oil prescribed by a physician. The AHA recommends a daily intake of 2-4 grams of EPA+DHA for elevated triglycerides, but a patient prescribed over 3 grams of omega-3 fish oil should be overseen by a physician due an increased risk of bleeding.

 

Omega-3 fish oil benefits:

Omega-3 fish oil is associated with a reduction in total mortality (69,70,71), lower risk of sudden death (69,71), lower risk of nonfatal MI (70), lower risk of nonfatal stroke (70), 20% reduction in deaths from cardiac causes (72), if taken within 18 hours of myocardial infarction symptoms noted a reduction in total cardiac events (73), reduction in total angina pectoris (73), reduction in cardiac arrhythmias (73), and lower risk of left ventricular enlargement (73).
