Re: Introduction (Omega 3s)

[Guest guest]

Lovaza Omega 3 is a highly refined prescription product from natural sources

(fish) created by a pharmaceutical company originally for use in lowering high

cholesterol. The capsules should not be broken because the contents are very

strong.

Here is a link to a description of it in its use for immune health. Also

included it says that each capsule of Lovaza is 1000mg, and contains roughly 465

mg of EPA and 375 mg of DHA. Not sure how many capsules per day you would take.

For 1 Tablespoon of Carlson's fish oil (3 times 1 teaspoon), it would have EPA

2400 mg, DHA 1500 mg, other omega 3s 900 mg. (On the bottle, the numbers show

for one teaspoon, so I tripled it.)

and the other stuff? Do you go to local stores or on the internet? I have a

friend who represents a company that makes the most potent omega 3 fish oil. She

said it is $100/month for a month’s supply but insurance covers $80 and

they give you a $20 voucher, so it is free. I will let you all know what the

product is when I speak to her again Monday.
