a 69-year-old woman, has a question about fish oil supplements. She has been taking an omega-3 fish oil supplement for several years, not at the advice of her physician but because she read that it may be beneficial for brain and heart health and could reduce cancer risk. FS has a significant family history for all these conditions, so she wants to make sure that she is doing everything possible to keep herself healthy. She recently came across a report that suggested there might be no benefit to supplementing with the product. FS denies allergies to medications and reports no other significant medical history. What counseling can you provide regarding the benefits of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation, in light of the findings of this recent study?
