Lovaza

[king1033]

So my doc showed me this prescription today called Lovaza I thought id give it a shot since my insurance gives me 10 dollars scripts so i thought it was a steal for a bottle of 120caps of ETHYL ESTER fish oils. is this hype??

No I'm on 4grams right now from Dr. it's the purest form of fish oil. It helps with lipids and mood. It worked to bring down my LDL's and also seemed to help with my moods. It seems to work for me, been on for about 2-years now. Hope this helps.

You would be surprised how much fish oil sold is already rancid.in a rancid state it is counterproductive.

Carlson's is on the same scale of purity and effectiveness in my opinion.


LOVAZA uses a 5-step purification process that helps remove mercury and other environmental toxins that can be present in fish oil

Each 1-gram capsule of LOVAZA contains 465 mg EPA and 375 mg DHA, the active fatty acids proven to lower very high triglycerides

It may take up to 18 capsules per day of an omega-3 supplement to achieve the same amount of EPA and DHA found in a 4-gram dose of LOVAZA

I asked my Doc about it. Said it was a very good product. He also advised me that my insurance won't cover it......due to the fact that you can buy fish oil over the counter. Kinda the same situation they had with Zyrtec the allergy medication in the end.
