Low carb diet does not reduce my LDL or Triglycerides all that much. After research I decided that LDL was not that significant, but the Trig. was. Doctor recommended 4 grams of O-3s a day, via Lovasa (each capsule has 1 gram of O-3s). It worked well but was about a $100 a month. It did drop those Trigs very nicely. So I started experimenting with the cheaper versions in larger quantities and they seemed to work just as well. Recently on another site someone suggested Carlson's Lemon Flavored Fishoil, $22 at Amazon, others, for 16+ ounces, 1 tsp has 1600 mg of O-3s. You can use it as a salad dressing or whatever. I am going to switch to it as soon as I use up the last of my Costco stuff.
Anyone hear anything adverse regarding this?
