marbehshalom -“health – i need only lovaza for my condition.”
Look I know how to prescribe medications, but I’m not saying whether I’m a doctor or not. I looked it up – Lovaza is 1 gm of fish oil per capsule. The avg. dose is 4 gm per day. This equals to 4 capsules a day.
From the Maxi-health web page:
“Q: Why is Maxi Omega 3 2000, the fish oil supplement of choice?
1.) Contains 2000 mg of fish oil, the highest concentration of its kind in a kosher, vegetarian capsule”
If you switch to Maxi-health you’d only have to take 2 capsules per day.
Tell your PCP to get off his/her high horse. Tell them you aren’t going to take Non-kosher pills. Esp. when Maxi-health makes something almost the exact same. I know why these guys insist on Lovaza, but I’m not going to go into it here. Try the Maxi-health and then do blood work -your PCP might be surprised and it might work better than Lovaza or at least the same.
