THE PRICE HAS TO BE PAID!
people in general are unlikely to die from covid.
Lots of evidence fish oil helps with joint health by reducing inflammation. Since an over-response from pro-inflammatory messaging is part of the problem with COVID-19, it would make sense for it to help.
But you’re 100% right to call out this being a small, poorly constructed study with no confirmation. Probably worth investigating further though in case something similar comes up in the future.
Tears just aren’t salt water. There’s also mucus and oil
There are oil glands on your lid margins (Meibomian glands). Eating fish oil daily increases their output which slows down evaporation.
Do yourself a favor if you are going to proceed on this news. First of all if you are already on RX Vesacepa for high trigs / heart health you are covered. If you are looking for OTC then do yourself a favor and look for one that is EPA Omega 3 only (like Vascepa is) DHA Omega 3 has shown it cancels out the heart / Inflammation benefits of EPA Omega 3.
Personally I take either Omegavia EPA only or Carlson EPA Elites. both OTC. Not cheap, but I’m confident it is as close as you will get to poor mans Vascepa. Vascepa had a limited Canadian study for Covid recovery with remarkable results. A large double blind study is in the works.
I take “MegaRed”. Krill oil, just like the Ruskies feed their cattle.
I like the Danish version of Carlson. ;)
