Biobillionaire,

This isn't quite right. One has to consider bioavailability, and ethyl ester forms are inferior to FFA and rTG forms--unless consumed concurrent with a high fat meal--and even then EE form is still inferior, only less so. It's one thing to strictly enforce dietary habits in a smaller study for 12 weeks, and quite another to instruct and then set free a huge population over numerous years. They just don't do what you tell them to. Actually, seeing a 300 -400% increase in EPA levels (as in REDUCE-IT) is quite easy. It happens when taking simple, cheap, off the shelf "concentrated" (they nearly all are these days) fish oil supplements.

And by the way, they are all fatty acids.
