[QUOTE="broker, post: 125361, member: 25926"] I may have posted this but currently there are 3 different brands of prescription fish oil. However, Vascepa is the only one that only contains EPA fatty acid and not DHA. The DHA in fish oil is whats responsible for an increase in LDL. They just completed a ground breaking study on over 8,000 men taking Vascepa. Not only does it significantly lower tryglycerides but it siginificantly reduces the chance of a heart attack or stroke but at least 25% . Vascepa is already fda approved but with the positive results of this study, the fda is probably going to give the green light to expand the label of Vascepa to include it reduces heart attack and stroke by at least 25%. This significant reduction is without statins. You add statins and its a 50% reduction. Unlike over the counter fish oil, the prescription version doesnt render a fishy taste or fishy breath and no side effects. The other two precriptions contain DHA, whereas Vascepa only contains EPA as i stated earlier. The 25% reduction study called “ Reduce-It “ is sigificant. Epa fish oil also lowers cholesterol by about 8%. That said, EPA dramatically reduces inflammation and CRP levels. I think this drug will also be used to reduce inflammation which could have a variety of positive effects not only on cardio vascular results. This could possibly fight cancer as well as arthritis and other inflammation related ailments. [/QUOTE]
