Vascepa costs me $610 for 90 days supply from Express Scripts. Haven't had V for over 6 months. I've been taking Carlson EPA Gems 1250 MG capsules, I believe it has 1000 mg EPA plus DHA, plus other Omega 3. Costs $30 for 30 day (120) supply. Been taking 2 Caps per day when I remember to. Overall still happy with my TG levels and cholesterol levels. Surprised by my HDL as it has improved without paying for a gym membership. Must be all that hard work (physical labor) I've been doing. Diet? well, that's another story. Doc opened my eyes with the loss of Kidney function. Trying to get better at what I'm eating. I take no other meds except for supplements.

My main concern was the interrelationship between Kidney function and CVD risk. Shows me how interrelated all of our vital organs are to each other. What's bad for one hurts the others etc. Smokers, drinkers, drugs, excess sugar..... all play a role. Ever try and eat something that doesn't contain tons of sugar?
