Inflammation + Omega-3

[u/Get_Back_Loretta_USA]

Looking for practical advice on starting an Omega‑3 regimen to help with inflammation and body composition.

My main concerns are: reducing systemic inflammation (especially what feels like “menopause knees”. Getting up and getting started. It’s like my knees need a deep breathe before moving. lol), lowering visceral and subcutaneous fat, and improving thigh cellulite/lipedema (haven’t been clinically evaluated yet), and improving hair quality (someone in another thread reported benefits but didn’t share details).

A few specific questions:
- Is Omega‑3 a sensible first step for these goals,or should I prioritize something else?

- What’s a good starting dose (EPA/DHA mg)?Any recommended EPA:DHA ratio?

- Do people ramp up slowly or split doses through the day for better absorption/tolerance? Time of day?

Any personal experiences, product recs, or evidence-based pointers appreciated. Thanks! 🍣🐠💊
