Fish oil.: What's the rest of your lipid profile look like. While fish oil is pretty good at raising the HDL and lowering the triglycerides, its effect on LDL is marginal. Your LDL is too high, so merely supplementing fish oil may not be the right solution to your cholesterol woes, but we'd really need to see the whole cholesterol profile to really know what would be best.
