I've started taking a couple of caps each day. Too early to
judge results.

I have taken 4 fish oil capsules a day for over 6 years (short periods
of 3 capsules) of the kind sold at WalMart so the long chain Omega 3
(EPA and DHA) are much less than 1000 mg.  These are not the more
purified kind that Barry Sears pushes.  My triglycerides are usually
near 60 mg/dl.  There were two separate 6 month periods in which I added
inulin or FOS with my breakfast and had 38 mg/dl and 40 mg/dl
triglyceride levels respectively.  Inulin (extracted from chicory) and
FOS (fructose oligosaccharide) act somewhat like insoluble dietary
fibers and the bacteria in the lower digestive tract break them down
into short chain fatty acids such as acetate and butyrate that impact
lipids levels in the blood. I didn't think my TGs needed to be that low
especially since my HDL is typically greater in mg/dl than my TGs. I am
not saying that fish oil capsules or the other stuff mentioned here was
the sole effectors on my triglyceride levels, but they are important.

Hey, Lerp. I have been taking the Puritan's Pride 1200mg x4 per day.
Before my dx my trigs were 400+ and 1 year later (and many fish oil
caps later) my trigs were 60. This I partially credit to the fish oil
but I also restrict carbs a have an exercise program so I can't say
which is the most responsible for the positive change.  I know it
isn't a low-fat diet, because I guzzle heavy cream and eat cheese by
the brick. And consistent, modest alcohol consumption is the
cornerstone of my heart-healthy diet. YMMV.

I take it to try and prevent memory loss. Since I started a couple of
years ago, I haven't put the teapot in the fridge and the milk under
the teacosy again, so I think it's working...
