Reported Results
Benefits:   lowered total cholesterol by 40 points
Side effects:   continual belching of "fishy" taste
Comments:   Both my husband & I have taken this medication. His results have been more dramatic than mine. He has seen a total cholesterol level lowering of 60 points to less than 200. Mine has lowered to just above 200 at 215, which is the lowest I've seen. There are minimal side effects. Mostly a "fishy" taste for 2-4 hours after taking the medication. Since I have difficulty digesting most vitamins, this is to be expected. My husband has had no side effects with this medication what so ever. It has the additional effect of lowering triglycerides. While it is a prescription medication, it is concentrated Omega 3's & has proven the safest way for us to bring our high cholesterol to a manageable level after failing with diet & exercise.
