Using DHA from Algae ( Neuromins), studies are showing that use of this fatty acid is extremely beneficial for blood lipid profiles.  Of course, the studies took place originally because of the intriguing  composition of the blood profiles of Eskimos, and the intuition that their intake of fish might explain them!   DHA from Algae tends to be quite a bit more expensive.
