[Used for] 3 Stars Hypertension 3 to 15 grams daily omega-3 fatty acids [Why] 
EPA and DHA, the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil, have been repeatedly shown to lower blood pressure. EPA and DHA , the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil , lower blood pressure, according to an analysis of 31 trials.9 The effect was dependent on the amount of omega-3 fatty acids used, with the best results occurring in trials using unsustainably high levels: 15 grams per day—the amount often found in 50 grams of fish oil. Although results with lower intakes were not as impressive, trials using over 3 grams per day of omega-3 (as typically found in ten 1,000 mg pills of fish oil) also reported significant reductions in blood pressure. One double-blind trial reported that DHA had greater effects on blood pressure than EPA or mixed fish oil supplements.10 DHA is now available as a supplement separate from EPA.
