Different impact : Recent interest in these omega 3 fatty acids since, while they both lower triglycerides, they have different impact on LDL cholesterol. Often the impact is minor, especially if person on statins. Dha, unlike epa's, raises LDL levels. The significance of this is still being evaluated but some medicines are already being made just of epa and without dha. Will monitor the research!
