It is possible for fish oil supplements to cause a rise in LDL levels of between 5-10mg. However, it has also been shown to lower tricycerides. This is thought to be because it shifts the low density liproproteins to LDLs instead.

Some studies say fish oil is beneficial and others say that it will raise your levels a bit so it is confusing. I have high cholesterol and am constantly confused.

Fish oil can not raise your LDL it will raise your HDL. Omega 3 fatty acids will lower your bad cholesterol but not your good one.
