Priority Matrix
The numbers.
Four dimensions, scored 1–6, where six is always the good end: cheapest, quickest, easiest, highest impact. Priority is Impact squared, divided by what it costs you in energy, money and time.

How sure we are
MixedReal studies disagree, or the effects are small and noisy.
Kept separate from the priority score on purpose: confidence in the evidence never raises how worth-it something is.
What we read
- Cardiovascular Risk Reduction with Icosapent Ethyl for Hypertriglyceridemia
New England Journal of Medicine · 2019
In 8,179 statin-treated adults with high triglycerides, 4 g/day of icosapent ethyl cut the composite cardiovascular endpoint by 25% versus a mineral-oil placebo.
- Effect of High-Dose Omega-3 Fatty Acids vs Corn Oil on Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in Patients at High Cardiovascular Risk
JAMA · 2020
In 13,078 high-risk adults, 4 g/day of EPA+DHA carboxylic acids versus corn oil was stopped for futility — no reduction in major adverse cardiovascular events.
Research from Brigham and Women's Hospital · Cleveland Clinic. We cite their published work. They have no involvement with Anew.
Where this falls down
Still unknown. REDUCE-IT and STRENGTH disagree, and they used different oils, different placebos, and different EPA/DHA mixes; over-the-counter fish oil at 2 g is not the prescription icosapent ethyl that won.
