Why has taking daily fish oil not lowered hereditary high cholesterol? is it because the high cholesterol is hereditary?

Not the right: treatment. Fish oil may help with high triglycerides but not with cholesterol. If you have hereditary hypercholesterolemia, please consult a cardiologist to safe guard your health. If is not a do it yourself matter.
