That's a hard one! I think it involves finding out where out own subtle feedback mechanisms have gone wrong - i'm interested in glutathione, prolactin, vitamin d, tyrosine, DPP IV and lactoferrin fo their anti-inflammatory effects.

I've read conflicting advice here and in the various links people have posted.again, it's quite personal - i do well with a high DHA formula but EPA alone is a better anti-inflammatory (inhibitor of PLA2). I have some friends who do well with DHA, some with EPA, and some a balance!! Sorry, not much help!

My funds are limited, and I already take niacinamide and fish oil.You might want to try different brands of fish oils - the one I use is either from Jarrow or Thorne. maybe give Lactoferrin a try, because it's an all round immune booster and anti-inflammatory, and antiviral- DPP IV has been found to be low in depression, and it's deficiency may be a large factor in depression.
Good luck,
