LDL and HDL levels with and 3g of fish oil daily

Correct. What gave you the impression it was the opposite?

Anectodal comments in various forums of men having issues with erections etc…

If I recall correctly, it was around 3 to 5% of people in the clinical trials that had sexual side effects.
Those sex side effects would usually go away after the drug is discontinued.
PROPECIA - finasteride tablet, film coated Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp.
But online it seems that % of side effects is much higher, and the effects last after the drug is stopped.
Sexual issues are no joke, and there are many factors that can cause them besides various hormones.

I’ve heard people call it a “tranny drug”. However, they usually fail to mention that there are usually 2 other drugs mixed with an 5-ari. Estrogen and another anti-androgen that blocks testosterone synthesis.
5-ari’s do not block/ testosterone synthesis, but do inhibit the synthesis of dht.
This is mostly to not go bald and not have so much body hair.

Also seen enough people need hair transplants or go bald from not using a 5-ari.
Not to mention prostate cancer. So 5-ari’s are very important drugs.

I’m sure many can relate to this: Someone telling us something is so big and scary (horror movies, roller coaster, whatever) before we watch or try it. Though once we watch or try it for ourselves, we think “wtf!”, that was not what I expected it to be like.
Then keep riding roller coasters, watching horror movies, or taking a 5-ari.

Adriank, with 2 g of EPA+DHA daily, the well-known drop in TG can sometimes occur with a rise in LDL – but 2 weeks is a bit soon. It usually takes 4 months for the full cycle (full incorporation into cell membranes and more stable lipid effects.)

Also, 6 g of fish oil containing only 2 g of EPA/DHA means you are taking 4 g of other lipids (and possible fillers). To be sure about your omega quality, check the exact composition of the product you’re using.

This is what I take :slight_smile:

EPA 600mg DHA 300mg per capsule. I take 2 capsule which is supposed to be same a 6g of normal fish oil. Each pill is 1.5g… so there is about 600mg of fillers x2.
