Question: from Jenny<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Is it true that\u00a0Fish Oil<\/a>\u00a0raises your\u00a0LDL<\/a>? Does your product do that?<\/p>\n

Comment: from\u00a0Warren Matthews<\/a>\u00a0of\u00a0Xtend-Life<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

No, not in the sense that it is of a concern!\u00a0LDL<\/a>\u00a0measurements can be quite misleading as they are generally calculated as oppose to being directly measured. Also the tests do not take into account if the\u00a0LDL<\/a>\u00a0is oxidised or not. It is the oxidised\u00a0LDL<\/a>\u00a0that is the worry. Not all\u00a0LDL<\/a>\u00a0is bad.<\/p>\n

We sometimes have customers who\u00a0Contact Us<\/a>\u00a0in a panic because their\u00a0LDL<\/a>\u00a0has gone up\u2026usually accompanied by a substantial reduction in triglycerides (which the\u00a0Omega 3<\/a>\u00a0helps) plus an increase in\u00a0HDL<\/a>. Any increase in\u00a0LDL<\/a>\u00a0levels under these circumstances is nothing to be concerned about because of the way they are calculated.<\/p>\n

Joanna gives a more detailed explanation below. And\u2026Jenny the difference in the impact on\u00a0LDL<\/a>\u00a0between different brands of oil would be negligible.<\/p>\n
