I heard that Lovaza is essentially a more regulated, pure form of Omega-3. Is this accurate? I was able to get a prescription for generic Lovaza, and looking at the label, it looks to be pretty identical to the Nordic Naturals Omega-3 supplement I was previously buying.

Is there any reason I shouldn't just take the Lovaza instead since it's covered by my health insurance? Was paying about $30 a month for the supplement vs. a $5 copay for the prescription. Obviously, I would try to match up the dosage, which would probably be about 1 prescription pill vs. 2 supplement pills. What am I missing?
