Gregory Chandler, Attorney, on Omega-3s and Blood Pressure

By: Gregory Chandler Some individuals inherit the tendency to have both high cholesterol and high triglycerides. In one study, 67 people with this inherited condition took omega-3s or a placebo. After 12 weeks, LDL cholesterol had not changed in either group, but compared to the placebo group, those who had taken omega-3s had 7 percent lower blood pressure, 8 percent lower levels of a sign of inflammation--high sensitivity C-reactive protein--and 19 percent lower levels of triglycerides.
