What to do if i'm confused of what different fish oil capsules are actually giving?

Do you need it?: Fish oil comes in many preparations over the counter and a stronger one by prescription. It may help the heart by improving lipid profile but mainly for high triglycerides. Is a decent supplement although recent studies are questioning efficacy. I would advise you to discuss it with your MD to assess if it is worth taking it (and/or ANY supplements) at age 33.
