A couple years ago, my GP said that he no longer recommended daily fish oil supplements as the research was inconclusive at best.

Too bad this paper didn’t look at fish oil supplements vs fresh oily fish.

These articles always refer to fish oil as omega 3 sources.
Cold pressed flax seed oil is an excellent source of omega 3 fatty acids and you don’t burp up fishy taste. Also, flax seed oil has a very good ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 fatty acids which is also key.

Flax oil will lower your cholesterol numbers.

Nattokinase is another good one. It will lower your blood pressure and help eat up plaque in the vascular system. I take it mixed with a lot of K2 and Indole-3-carbinol.

"Being a regular smoker takes 4.7 years off your life expectancy, the same as you gain if you have high levels of omega-3 acids in your blood,"

Brilliant. I'm a smoker and I have some salmon in the freezer. I was planning on smoking it, wait, what? Now I'm confused.

The Omega 3s are also found in pastured eggs and grass fed beef.

Not mixed with mercury in fatty fish.

Yeah I first started reading about omega 6/3 ratios about 5 years ago. at the time my ratio was 20/1 in favor of the omega 6’s. So I started to supplement with fish oil. Three years ago my ratios were 4/1 in favor of omega 6’s.

A couple months ago I retested. My ratios were 1/1.

We’ll see if this does any good.
