Research suggests that taking the Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA together can significantly lower triglyceride levels1. Why does that matter? High triglyceride levels can be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, which is related to incidents like stroke and heart attack.

The Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil (like EPA and DHA) can help and are more viable solutions than alternatives like flaxseed oil. The problem with flaxseeds is that they largely contain ALA Omega-3, which the body can't absorb directly. Omega-3s from fish oil pack a more powerful punch.

While fish oil doesn't significantly impact cholesterol levels, it can support good overall cardiovascular health. OmegaVia supplements for heart health contain 300 to 1,135 mg of Omega-3 fatty acids. 

The EPA and DHA Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil have been shown to lower triglycerides—a type of fat in your blood that, when elevated, increases your risk of heart disease and stroke [1]. For comprehensive cardiovascular support, fish oil is still worth taking.

It depends on your cardiovascular health status. People with heart-related health conditions might benefit from a higher dosage of Omega-3 fatty acids–1,000 mg per day [2]. 

For high triglycerides specifically, clinical research indicates you need approximately 3,000 mg of EPA and DHA daily [1]. 

Both products support cardiovascular health, but they're formulated differently for different needs. EPA 500 provides 500 mg of pure EPA per softgel and is designed for daily heart health, joint support, and mood balance.

Ultra Concentrated provides 1,135 mg of total Omega-3s per softgel (both EPA and DHA combined), making it one of the most concentrated fish oils available. With Ultra Concentrated, you only need three pills daily to reach the clinically researched dose of about 3,000 mg Omega-3s for triglyceride support—compared to ten pills with typical retail fish oil.
