NOTE: I, Henry Lahore, take Omega-3 + Vitamin D + Mg (orally and topically)
along with |nuts (Omega-3+ Omega-9 + Mg) and flax (Omega-3)
Vitamin D and Cardio in VitaminDWiki
Cardiovascular category starts with the following
- Overview Cardiovascular and vitamin D
- Hypertension and vitamin D
- Overview Metabolic Syndrome and vitamin D
- Overview Stroke and vitamin D
- Peripheral arterial disease risk is 1.5X higher if low vitamin D – meta-analysis March 2018
- Peripheral Arterial Disease 3.7 X more likely in diabetics with low vitamin D – June 2019

Omega-3 Helps

Cholesterol, Statins
- Cholesterol is needed to produce both Vitamin D and Cortisol
- Overview Cholesterol and vitamin D
- Statins and vitamin D statins often reduce levels of vitamin D
- Statin side-effects are reduced by Vitamin D – US patent Application – April 2019
Omega-3 in VitaminDWiki
- Vitamin D and Omega-3 category listing has
320 items - Overview: Omega-3 many benefits include helping vitamin D
In addition to reducing cadio problems, Omega-3 has proven benefits in Depression, Cognition, Pregnancy, Obesity, Trauma, etc.
All of which decrease medical costs - far beyond that of just CVD medical costs in this study
I suspect that the cost reduction of 84X for just Cardio becomes 200X for all medical problems
