Wikipedia: Fish oil
Encyclopedia survey of fish-oil products, EPA/DHA content, regulatory status, and health-claim controversies—with citations to reviews and trials; useful consumer vocabulary alongside Cochrane-scale LCn3 RCT syntheses.
Scope vs this protocol
This page centers fish oil as a product class (oils, concentrates, prescription formulations) rich in EPA/DHA—aligned with Marine omega-3 supplementation here. It is not a dedicated home for ALA plant-oil trials; the protocol markdown already separates ALA evidence families.
Evidence discipline
Use for definitions, history, and outbound citations; mortality, CHD, and triglyceride pooled estimates belong to Hooper et al. Cochrane and other PubMed rows linked from marine-omega-3-supplementation.
Pairing
Read next to wikipedia-vitamin-d-overview only when separating UV / cholecalciferol questions from marine lipid questions—do not merge protocols.
Outcomes
- triglyceridesTertiary overview: triglyceride-lowering with LCn3 supplements is a recurring theme—confirm magnitude and certainty in linked Cochrane review (high-certainty triglyceride pattern in pooled RCTs).
- All-Cause Mortality RiskTertiary narrative on cardiovascular and mortality controversies; quantitative pooled RRs must come from primary systematic reviews in this database, not Wikipedia prose alone.
