RE: Low dose Statin and Pomegrante extract reduce risk factors for heart disease
And omge 3 fatty acids are also wonderful against systemic inflammation.

First you would want a blood test to determine if you require Omega3s which is based on an index or ratio between Omega3 and Omega6 but most Americans probably do require Omega3s. The other issue is the source because the main components you want are DHA and EPA but it's extremely expensive.
The best source available with the least risk (most pure) is from Algae oil, but if you check the prices you will see you have to essentially be rich or post a lot on Steemit to afford to take fresh Algae oil in the amounts necessary to reach the levels used in studies. Fish oil is a lot cheaper but in my experience and the experiences of many others it does and will raise your LDL cholesterol. Is it worth it to raise your LDL to potentially dangerous levels in order to get Omega3s? It really depends but in my opinion the jury is still out on fish oil and on Omega3s effectiveness.
You can get Omega3s from Walnuts which is how I get it currently but the body cannot actually process it as well as Algae oil so Algae oil is the first best source yet the most expensive. If you can afford to do it then Nordic Naturals has the best Algae oil which I use.
