Super EPA 813 mg by Thorne

If you’re shopping for fish oil for high triglycerides, this is a practical daily dose. It fits adults with elevated Triglycerides, a low Omega-3 Index, or low seafood intake. Two to three gelcaps daily delivers roughly 1.6–2.4 grams of EPA+DHA, the range most clinicians use for triglyceride reduction within 4 to 12 weeks. It’s also a steady maintenance option for joint discomfort or if hs-CRP (an inflammation marker) runs high, though effects on pain and inflammation are modest.

EPA and DHA reduce how much fat your liver packages into VLDL particles (the carriers that show up on a lipid panel as triglycerides), and they nudge cells to burn fatty acids for energy more quickly. They also displace arachidonic acid (an omega-6 fat used to make signaling molecules) in cell membranes, shifting eicosanoids (those signaling molecules) toward a less inflammatory profile. In practice, responders see triglycerides drop 20–30% in 4–12 weeks and small reductions in hs-CRP.

Take one gelcap two to three times daily with meals, ideally with your largest meal that contains fat to improve absorption and reduce fishy burps. Splitting the dose keeps levels steadier and is easier on the stomach. Re-test Triglycerides and your Omega-3 Index after 8–12 weeks. If you need more than 2 grams EPA+DHA daily, you’ll either take several capsules or consider a more concentrated omega-3.

Fish oil has a mild blood-thinning effect. If you take warfarin or a direct oral anticoagulant (like apixaban or rivaroxaban), or high-dose aspirin or clopidogrel, involve your clinician and monitor for bruising or bleeding. It can lower blood pressure slightly, so monitor if you’re on antihypertensives. Skip if you have a fish allergy. For planned surgery, many surgeons ask patients to pause high-dose omega-3 a week prior.
