Omega-3 in VitaminDWiki
- Vitamin D and Omega-3 category listing has
366 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
