I have taken RX strength omega 3 fish oil during my IPF ordeal, as well as Ofev. The progress has dramatically slowed, I would definitely recommend taking it. If your DR prescribes it , most likely your insurance will pay and you will get highly refined RX strength. A decent article: https://newsroom.uvahealth.com/2024/01/03/healthy-omega-3-fats-may-slow-deadly-pulmonary-fibrosis-research-suggests/#:~:text=Fibrosis%2C%20Research%20Suggests-,Healthy%20Omega%2D3%20Fats%20May%20Slow%20Deadly%20Pulmonary%20Fibrosis%2C%20Research,fibrosis%2C%20UVA%20Health%20research%20suggests.
