While Omega 3s haven’t done a damn thing for any of my blood markers, taking them in tandem with a glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM supplement has done WONDERS for my chondromalacic joints. I’ve recently run out of my Omega 3s two weeks ago and thought “the Tri-Flex has been doing the work for my joint pain, I don’t need those expensive Omega 3s anymore” and lo and behold, my joint pains, crackling, creaking, and constant discomfort have been coming back. From my anecdotal experience, fish oils work well for joint issues, but not my blood markers.
