Been taking MegaRed omega 3 Krill oil, Made by Schiff.
100 softgels for $23. at Costco.
Way better than the fishie tasting softgels, and work just as good.

In addition to the Mayo Clinic report, take a peek here: http://hub.jhu.edu/2013/12/17/vitamins-might-be-harmfulEat well, eat right, and well balanced. Work out, and take care of yourself. That will go FAR further than some snake oil you get in a bottle or a pill.

My doctor has me on Lovaza. Blood has looked better since then. One thing to mention is that after you've just taken the Lovaza, do not eat Peanut Butter. That is truly a bad mix of stuff.

eat a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast, a salad for lunch, a peice of fruit or two during the day and some broiled chicken or lean red meat and lots of veg's for dinner. exercise 30-60 min a day doing cardio or weights and all your numbers will be fine and you will be a middle-aged stud like me who can outrun and out work people half my age.
or spend big bucks on magic pills that are made from polluted fish parts that were dragged off the processing floor and call it a day.
Dr. Rem You got it right.

Omega-3s have been proven to be a benefit. By your numbers, you need to talk to yout MD about some statins.

Are you operating under the long debunked myth that dietary cholesterol has an effect on blood cholesterol, or the long debunked myth that blood cholesterol has anything to do with cardiovascular disease, or a combination of the two?

your body, if relatively healthy, can make all of the fatty acids it needs from two essential fatty acids: linoleic acid and linolenic acid.
You probably get enough of these two acids if you eat a well balanced diet. One of the best foods to eat would be freshly ground flax seeds.
High doses of Lovasa have been used in an attempt to lower high triglycerides. High triglycerides mask true cholesterol levels and may be a contributor to atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis.

I'll stick with flax seed oil. I hate burping nasty fish taste.

Oh Gawd, here we go again. Would it help to mention that statins have cardio protect benefits that go beyond lowering Cholesterol? Probably not. Nolite mittere margaritas ante porcos.  Learned that, inter alia, at the Medical College of Georgia. You?

No one in my family, on either side, tolerate them at all for some reason. Ill go the red yeast rice, niacin, and fish oil route first. Figured id try this fish oil and see what it tasted like, and get ya'lls opinion on it.

I just eat fish.  Eggs from pastured hens contain .66 grams of Omega 3 per egg. Eat three, and you've had a natural dose of Omega 3 greater than from one of those fish oil pills. Non-pastured hens only have one-third that much Omega 3, so you'd need nine of those daily to match a fish oil pill. Pastured hens get the Omega 3 from eating wild greens, seeds, bugs, and grubs, all day. All Omega 3's and all "Omega 3 eggs" are not created equal, so read the label and see how much DHA/EPA vs. ALA you're getting. According to this, some "Omega 3 eggs" are produced by feeding hens ground flaxseed, and have a lot more ALA than DHA, which is what you want: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life...ice-or-marketing-gimmick/article4574714/

Multivitamins, ill agree with the article. Most dont carry therapeutic levels of many vitamins and minerals that some folks need. Case in point.... With my GERD issue(which really isnt GERD, but caustic burns, the irritaion messes with the vagus nerve, increasing heart rate at times) I am now back on Nexium. PPI's like Nexium deplete Magnesium, and Calcium. But my bloods showed Calcium spot on, Magnesium was borderline low, BEFORE taking Nexium. So now I take 600mg Cal, throw in 5000IU of D3, 600 mg Mag Glycinate. Oh and 600mg CoQ10 just in case.
