Micronutrients & recovery
High-dose eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) at 4g/day significantly reduces major cardiovascular events in high-risk patients already on statins, whereas general omega-3 supplementation shows mixed or null results for primary prevention.
If you are high-risk and on statins, ask your doctor about high-dose EPA (4g/day). Large studies show it significantly reduces heart attacks and strokes in this specific group. Standard over-the-counter fish oil doses may not offer this same protection.

Исследование REDUCE-IT достигло своей основной конечной точки, продемонстрировав примерно 25 %-е снижение относительного риска развития серьезных неблагоприятных сердечно-сосудистых событий... в популяции пациентов с назначением приема 4 г / день препарата эйкозапентоеновой кислоты... Другое крупнейшее исследование... ASCEND... не выявил статистически значимых различий между группами
