Interesting stuff. I take all of it but I have no sense how the pieces work together and what the correct ratio should be.

I saw your ratios. But I did not understand them. I’ll do some research on them. I’m reading that the chinese ai deepseek.com has some good medical capabilities.

I would think that omega 3 bone health benefits and anti inflamnatory benefits would be secondary to its other benefits.

In the last year, I cleared out blockage in my left carotid arterie that had been there for a decade by dropping 30 pounds and and taking a bunch of supplements and prescription drugs. So many that I’m not sure which one did the job.

But I read recently that high dose omega 3 will clear out the arteries. I was taking close to 5 grams of omega 3 for about six months before cutting that number in half.

I dropped my ldl cholesteral to dangerously low for a a couple months with a couple different cholesterol lowering drugs.

I did that for about 2 months before stopping. I think that gave me a case of gall stones. That resolved when I went off the pharmaceuticals.

I have been taking a gradually increasing batch of supplements for more than 50 years. I was taking calcium and magnesium for muscle cramps and height shrinkage. Around age 55 I read that boron helps utilization of cal/mag and bond building. I added 3 mg. a day and back pain and the occasional cramps went away. Around age 75 I started having back pain again and occasional knee tenderness. I added another 3 mg. boron with my night supplements. I am now 86 and the back and knee issues have been gpme all this time.

Good that you lost 30 lbs, but bad that you got gall stones. If you seriously reduced your fat consumption to lose that weight, that could have influenced the gall stones. Fat in the diet causes the gall bladder to dump gall and thus prevent stone formation. I wonder if the amount of Omega 3 fatty acid was sufficient to help the gall bladder dump its load, especially when you reduced the dose by half? Glad everything seems to be working well now for you.
