Omega 3 index and heart health
There are only 525,600 minutes in a year
655,000 Americans die from cardiovascular disease each year. That is 1 death every 36 seconds!

There are many Omega 3 supplements out there but this is my favorite.
If your levels are low, you can start with up to 8 per day or about 5000 mg/day for about 1 month and then down to 4/day and then 2/day for long term support.
