Many people are curious about the difference between Lovaza versus fish oil supplements. Both products contain
DHA and EPA,
omega-3 fatty acids that decrease the liver's production of
triglycerides. However, the less-expensive supplements almost always have a low concentration of EPA and DHA, regardless of the strength on the label.
More importantly,
dietary supplements are not regulated as strictly as prescription drugs. This means that some supplements could potentially be contaminated or could have less of the active ingredients than stated on the label.
There are many factors to consider when comparing Lovaza vs. fish oil products. You should consult your healthcare provider to find out which product will best suit your needs.
