About a year ago I started taking 18 grams of Omega 3 fish oils (6 -3 tid). Each 1000 mg contains EPA 360; DHA 240.
I'm not sure how much it has helped the depression but my Cholesterol level dropped from to 570 to 293. It is still dropping and I will have it tested again in another month. My triglyceride levels made an even more dramatic drop -I'd have to dig out the lab results to be specific.
About two years ago I started Synthroid for mild hypothyroid. Hypothyroid can aggravate chol/lipid levels, so that may have helped also, but the doctor feels it is the fish oils doing the trick.
Oddly (fortunately), I rarely experience any fishy taste.
