  • Any treatment that included radiation or chemotherapy within the previous 2 years

  • Receiving/prescribed coumandin (Warfarin), heparin, daltaparin, enoxaparin or other anticoagulation therapy.

  • Regular use of supplements containing the investigational material (e.g. Omega-3 fatty acids), in the last 3 months, regular consumption of foods containing the investigational material (e.g. fish for omega-3) #

  • Active smokers, nicotine, alcohol, drug abuse

  • Chronic past and/or current alcohol use (>14 alcoholic drinks week)

  • Allergic to any of the ingredients (i.e., fish oil)
