Fish Oil helps with Cholesterol support because of the EPA (the natural Omega-3 fatty acid in it)… it’s just what it does, like the reason Vitamin C is acidic.
The fact that Fish Oil has cholesterol doesn’t mean it’s going to increase your cholesterol… they are two very different things. In fact, you need to ingest some cholesterol every day… the RDA for cholesterol is 300 mg per day so a softgel of Fish Oil would have less cholesterol than a couple potato chips (which is almost insignificant as well). One thing to remember is that there is good cholesterol and bad cholesterol, just like there is good fat and bad fat… Fish Oil is an example of a good fat and it gives your body some of the raw materials it needs to properly control cholesterol and keep it in a healthy range. I hope that helps to clear it up!

Omega-3 fatty acids ARE a naturally occuring triglyceride….thats why its listed in the ingredients on some supplements (though usually it will just say "fish oil" or something to that effect….
