A member asked:

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I haven't recommended discontinuing omega 3 fish oil on the basis of recent studies. . I do recommend highly purified products and no more than combined EPA & DHA of 1000 mgs per day unless you're treating high triglycerides which require higher doses. I believe that omega 3 fish oils contribute to cardiovascular health. If you're overly concerned you could try EPA alone.
