How many Omega-3 capsules should I take per day to decrease my cholesterol levels?

Hello, in the latest analysis, total cholesterol is 257, HDL cholesterol 87: how many omegor capsules should I take per day to decrease the value? I am kindly waiting for a reply, kind regards.


Dear Annapaola, 

Omegor Vitality 1000 is a supplement with a high concentration of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids, the intake of which promotes the reduction of triglycerides and the raising of HDL ("good cholesterol") cholesterol.


From what you write to me, your HDL cholesterol value is already high: therefore, the most suitable supplement for your case is Cardiol, which is rich in active ingredients that can promote the natural reduction of total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol. Among the main ingredients:


  • fermented red rice
  • polycosanols
  • bioflavonoids from Citrus Aurantium
  • tocotrienols


Combined with proper nutrition, this formulation helps reduce LDL and total cholesterol levels. Antioxidants and Omega-3s, on the other hand, help maintain the health of the cardiovascular system. I recommend that you take 1 pearl of Cardiol just before dinner: if you already use Omegor Vitality 1000 you can continue taking 1 pearl daily. 


The beneficial effects will be seen gradually over 8 weeks of supplementation. I remain at your disposal for any further questions on this matter. 


Best regards
