Inflammation of vascular epithelial cells causes serum calcium and some LDLs to adhere resulting in placques. Vitamin D maintains epithelial integrity (reduces inflammation) which keeps the vasculature smooth rendering CA++ and lipids more irrelevant than advertised. While sunlight derived vitD is ideal, supplements are the next best thing.

Yes or straight up cod liver...although I've never tried that. Do you take cod liver / oil?

I take 4000 units (epa + dha) of Nordic Naturals fish oil daily. Is that similar to taking cod liver oil?
