Hi JL I have been reading the board for awhile and I am very interested in the inflammation reducing properties of EPA. I had an appointment with my primary physician earlier this week and I mentioned to him that I was interested in increasing the amount of omega 3's in my diet and EPA in particular. I asked him about prescription fish oil because I would rather try that then some over the counter supplement.

My primary physician immediately thought I meant Lovaza and when I mentioned Vascepa he had never heard of it. He had to look it up in his book and he seemed interested but said since my triglycerides are only 77 he would never prescribe to off label without seeing a some real evidence of its benefits and he mentioned the recent failed Niacin study. I told him about the Reduce It Study coming in 2016 and he was glad it was being done because he said that he is a believer in omega 3's but he wants more data to back it up.

I purchased Garden of Life Minami Nutrition PlusEPA Mind Formula which is 500 mg of EPA for now and my Doctor told me that when the reduce it trials finish to talk to him again and maybe he will prescribe it. It is disappointing though because PlusEPA is way more expensive to get the same amount of EPA then it would have been for a prescription of Vascepa with the coupon and insurance coverage.

Anyways I just wanted to say thanks for all the information you have provided and I have done a ton of research on my own and I think you are to something big.
