For a source of information unrelated to the sales site, here is a
statement from Dr. Philippe Szapary, Assistant Professor of
Cardiovascular Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania:
"Res-Q 1250 is a brand name for a concentrated fish oil capsule.
Marine fish oils found in cold water marine fish such as salmon,
sardines, herring and to a lesser extent tuna contain two long chain
Omega-3 fatty acids called Eicosapentaenoic Acid(EPA) and
Docosahexaenoic Acid(DHA). These two fatty acids, found in Res-Q 1250,
have been shown in studies to reduce serum triglycerides and protect
patients with pre-existing heart disease (angina, previous heart
attack, bypass, angioplasty) from having another cardiac event. For my
patients with high triglycerides, I recommend fish oils (3-9 capsules
per day taken in three doses) as adjunct to prescription lowering
medications. For heart attack prevention in high risk patients, I
recommend eating fish 2-3 times per week. If a patient does not or
cannot eat fish, then I recommend 2-3 capsules of fish oil taken with
a meal."

My search strategy in locating this data consisted of various
combinations of "rescue 1250" (not successful,) "omega-3," "fish oil,"
"capsules," "cholesterol," and finally (on a hunch) "res-q 1250,"
which led me to the N3 Oceanic site.
I hope this information is useful. If anything in my answer is not
clear, or if any of the links do not function, please do not hesitate
to ask for clarification.
