A member asked:
I have costochrondritis. does omega-3 oil truly help lower the body's inflammatory response or is it a myth. if not, how much should i take daily?

Omega 3: some studies claim an effect. In one study patients with back pain took a preparation and it seemed to help reduce needs for NSAIDs, but that was in that study. Any new medication and dose should be discussed with your PCP. but in that study they took 1200 mg, but the exact brand/? I don't know. Many result are VERY dependent upon which one you take. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/165
