High HDL and Omegas

High HDL and Omegas

I've purchased galic and parsley tablets as well as Omega 3-6-9 tablets in the hope of getting my colesterol levels to a normal numbering. But today I read that Omega 6 isn't that good as it could counter the effect of Omega 3 and induce inflammation. Now I"m wondering if I just spent 30$ for nothing.

What do you think?

No, it's not the Omega 6 that's in overabundance, it's GLA from evening primrose oil.  However, you'll probably get better results for HDL by taking the Omega 3 product (I'm assuming you bought Nordic Naturals, an excellent brand).  The one you've got is great for overall essential fatty acids, especially for women with hormone problems, but for cholesterol the Omega 3 oils are the best.  These are found in fish oil, hemp oil, and flax oil primarily.  The garlic and parsley is probably more of a waste of money, but it certainly won't harm you.  Garlic works best combined with other nutrients, so a cholesterol lowering formula would be better than garlic by itself.  Exercise and dietary changes are also necessary.
