What Other New Prescription Fish Oil Drugs Might the FDA Approve?
As you will read in this issue of Life Extension magazine, fish oil has been shown to prevent or alleviate a wide variety of ailments, including depression,31-41 osteoporosis,42-45 arthritis,46-50 stroke,51-53 heart attack,54-66 Alzheimer’s disease, 67-76 and some forms of cancer.77-83 Might there be future prescription fish oil products approved by the FDA as anti-depressant drugs, as bone-protecting prescription drugs, as anti-arthritis prescription drugs, and even as cancer-preventive prescription drugs? If so, some drug companies stand to make a lot of money. Elderly patients who are unaware of lower-cost fish oil supplements might have to do without some basic necessities in order to afford their fish oil prescriptions. This is unfortunate, as these high-priced fish oil drugs provide the same omega-3 fatty acids that health-conscious Americans have been supplementing with for the past 35 years.
