I take 1000 to 2000 daily. It dropped my Tryglicerides from 300 to 160 in 6 months.
Bookmarked. Thanks for posting.

Daily exercise training may lead to better long-term, event-free survival than stent angioplasty in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) who receive optimal medical treatment, a pilot study suggests.
Coronary revascularization using percutaneous techniques is widely used in the treatment of CAD patients, the researchers note.
They add that, in patients with stable CAD, regular physical exercise training has been shown to improve functional work capacity, myocardial perfusion, and 1-year, event-free survival.
To investigate its long-term benefits further, Sven Moebius-Winkler (Leipzig Heart Center, Germany) and colleagues randomly assigned 101 stable CAD patients to stent angioplasty or conservative management with a strategy that included a daily exercise program.
Both sets of patients received optimised medical standard therapy, the team reported at the European Society of Cardiology EuroPRevent 2009 meeting in Stockholm, Sweden. Clinical status was assessed initially and at follow-up visits using the Canadian Cardiovascular Society classification.
The primary composite endpoint was death from any cause, nonfatal myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident, need for any revascularization procedure due to unstable angina, and hospitalization for worsening angina.
Event-free survival at 5 years was significantly higher in the 51 patients receiving exercise training compared with the 50 stented patients, at 63% versus 40%, respectively. During this period, 36 cardiovascular events occurred in 19 patients from the training group compared with 55 events in 30 patients from the stent group.
Based on their findings, the researchers concluded: “At long-term follow up of 5 years, daily exercise training additionally to optimal medical treatment in stable CAD patients leads to a better event free survival rate compared with stent angioplasty.”
That’s good to know. Thanks for the post.
Three words... Cod Liver Oil. You can buy it plain for “real men” or flavored.
Fish oils pills can and often do turn rancid and change to trans fats.
Check out Heart Scan Blog by Dr. William Davis, a cardiologist who has been reducing atherosclerotic plaque in his patients. His recommendations are: 1. elimination of all wheat, cornstarch & sugar in the diet; 2. high fat intake; 3. Slo-Niacin; 4. 3,000 mg/day fish oil.

I take 2400 mg a day.
200 mg is very easy to get. A serving of fish, or one capsule of 1000mg Fish oil would be enough. Fish Oils are probably the most effective supplement sold today. One of the few that really have alot of research backing them up. I take 6 capsules per day currently, but I am currently on a diet that happens to be low in fat, so these fish oils help me get the fat that I need.
I have used 1000 mg fish oil caps but I’m now taking two 1300 mg capsules of flaxseed oil. You can get the Flaxseed oil caps at Sams Club or Costco.
EPA/DHA has health benefits in addition to heart health issues. Health is more than heart health.
200 mg is PUNY.
