*EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) have been shown in several studies to lower triglycerides, slow the buildup of plaque, slightly lower blood pressure, and reduce risk of death, heart attack, dangerous abnormal heart rhythms, and strokes in people with known heart disease.
