Barneys ( cholesterol advice )

[AdesBees]

Have been on Barneys formula and the shake plan with amazing results, totally clear now. I saw a herbalist i know and showed her the formula and she says to keep an eye on your cholesterol levels regarding the high oil content. She says drop down on the oils now I'm clear. Has anyone have any advice on this , or has anyone had a test who's been on Barneys for a while .Ade

hi a....if the fish oil on the back lists about 300mg of epa and dha..the omega3 fatty acids..then that works out to be 900mg omega 3 fatty acids for three capsules...which is a good number..best benefit from bits that i've read iis spread  through the day...the cardiologist blog is a great read....he's tested 1000's of patients for D and fishoil...really informative..

the two flax is good also...both are not to much if you don't eat much fish

I must admit that after quite a bit of reading on flax oil I don't bother with it any more as the information points towards fish oil being a superior source of Omega 3. Fish oil conveniently comes already converted to DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). When taking flaxseed oil, your body takes the ALA and converts it into EPA and DHA through an enzymatic process. Unfortunately the conversion process isn't too efficient. Studies found men can only convert ALA to EPA by about 8%. The conversion of ALA to DHA was even lower at 0.1%. However I should add that there are concerns of toxic contaminants in fish (for example, mercury) but this shouldn't be an issue with a good quality product.
