hi ,

I'm wondering is it useful/harmful to take omega-3 fish oil 3 times (1200 mg) daily for chronic HBVers ?

Thanks

yes i do

Polyenylphosphatidylcholine and omgea3 fish oils are different things

fish oils have shown on studies to reduce overall inflammation and fatty liver, i just saw a study few days ago on a big amount of people _(general population, no diseases) and long time showing an increase of life of about 2,2 years

do you take epa+dha even with heptech?
There is Polyenylphosphatidylcholine I thought (probably wrongly) it is more or less the same as Omega 3

these are the best brands with the most quantity of dha/epa, you have to reach about 2g daily to have an effect so just comapre:

this has 2.7g epa+dha

no it is not harmful it is a must, but the quality and concentration of epa and dha must be very high at 2-3g daily (fish oil quantity is not useful check epa/dha), most products are scam with very low dha/epa so useless.they must be filtered for metals otherwise they are dangerous because sea is all poluted

check older posts and you find best brands
