Of course recommend that everyone decide for themselves, discuss it with their doctor, etc.
This sounds like... fish oil!
There’s been a lot of claims and counterclaims about fish oil. Personally, I love oily fish. But I remember reading about things like the omega-3 to omega-6 ratio. It’s hard to think the last word is in on this.
I was talking to a doctor at the gym who is big on nutrition. He laughed when I asked him if he could remember how many times coffee had been switched from the “good for you” to “bad for you” category and back again.
My blood pressure inexplicably shot up last fall. I tried many “natural “ cures and none worked. When I told my endocrinologist I took fish oil he said it doesn’t provide any benefits and just adds more calories to my diet. I was quite surprised, until that I had heard only positive things about fish oil.
A few extra calories don’t bother me, my weight is fine. Heart disease runs in my family so I will continue to take fish oil.
Eat your Cod liver oil, it’s been Mama’s recommendation for decades.
And maybe there’s a good reason for it.
A few years ago I asked my cardiologist,who’s a senior staff member at 3 of the world’s most famous hospitals (Boston)...and at Harvard Medical School...about fish oil and he dismissed it outright.
If people want healing after a HA they need to take co enzyme q 10. Countless studies prove it’s amazing ability to help heal hearts.
Read up on magnesium - especially the oil, which you can make from flakes and rub on transdermally. Amazing effects, all positive.

Amarin company which markets Vescepa for high trigs in competition with Lovaza is in Phase 3 study using Vescepa. (It is pure EPA, no DHA) to determine if it can reduce Cardiac events. If it does it is billion dollar drug. Not to surprising the FDA is making them jump through hoops. Just another corrupt Gov. agency bought off by the interests of BIG pharmy which Amarin isn't.
4 g = 4000 mg
Many pills to take.
>> the other half were given placebo pills.

Provided you don’t have a allergy to sea food that includes salt water fish from which these oils are extracted.
Try looking up K2 Complex. It forces the calcium to stay in your bones, not form plaque in your arteries. Good for both bones and heart. http://advances.nutrition.org/content/3/2/158.full
I started taking fish oil for one thing several years ago - maybe general health? Anyway - my cholesterol levels dropped to a healthy level with no change in diet or exercise. So I’ll continue to take it. If nothing else, it helps with inflammation which can cause multiple issues.
