Fish Oil Capsules

[sanchezf (Premo)]

I heard a couple people talk about how good they are for you and have done some research online but would like some first hand knowledge.

Does anyone take it everyday? What results did you get?
Give it to your kids? Results?
Anybody ever given it to kid with ADD and seen an great results?

My son loves the ones I give him... he actually chews them and yes I can tell a difference when he runs out.

A higher concentration of DHA is better for your mood and memory while a higher concentration of EPA is great for your heart, eyes, hair, skin.... I can tell the difference in my own body when I run out. I have tried all kinds of EFAs from hemp, flax, borage, rice bran.... etc but I believe fish oil can benefit everyone.

I like the brand Nordic Naturals.

I just started taking Lovaza yesterday for my triglycerides. Holy moly these pills are HUGE. Obviously I haven't been on it long a enough to see a difference, but am hoping I will!

I take them every day - several pills a day actually. I have noticed a HUGE difference, especially in my joints (I am young but I had lyme disease when I was 21 and it really messed up my joints...) They are one of the few supplements I think I'll be taking for the rest of my life...

I give them to my daughter too - I punch a little hole in the capsules and squeeze it into applesauce or yogurt, she doens't taste it.

I'll warn you - either get a flavored one, OR take something with it like vit. C or you will get 'fishy burps' and those aren't pleasant!! I take a coQ10 with mine - that's another supplement that is great for you.


I use the Life Extension brand - I have to order them online, but they are worth it. I did try the nordic naturals, and also blue ice - both are great companies and offer flavored options, but I just favor the life extension ones for some reason.

I've seen research that says that fish oil is great for kid with ADD/ADHD, autisum, etc - I'll try to dig some up for you. I've heard that a gluten-free diet works well for ADHD too, that's harder to 'do' but might be worth it if the problems are really severe and you don't want to go the medicine route....

let me see if I can dig up my research and I'll PM you with some links later on...

I take Omega 3 everyday, but for joint support and fat burning...

I take fish pills along with Crestor for lowering cholesterol. It does work for me. I use Nature Made Odorless. No fishy burp-back taste.

I stopped taking CoQ10 when I found out I was pregnant, Dr said he didn't know the effect of CoQ10 on the fetus. But you're right CoQ10 is a great supplement
As far as fish burps, they seem unavoidable as I have tried several brands but at least if you have a flavored fish oil it's kind of pleasant, lol.

I burped with those too

I take Omega 3 and Resveratrol everyday.

Resveratrol is actually an excellent supplement to add to your everyday routine. Research it!

I take a multi vitamin and an Omega 3 every day. No burp backs for me though. I have one more year until I have to add the geritol into my daily regimen.
