Fish oil: Fish oil is great! make sure you get 1.2 grams of epa:dha at 3:2 ratio daily. Take with meals for better absorption and decreasing side effect of fishy taste upon belching! dont buy the products that have saturated fats; the cheaper brands!

Cholesterol: Best to try mediterranean diet and could try red yeast rice which has Lovastatin as the active ingredient. Also consider nicotinic acid and fish oil.
