Any brand is good. Try Now Foods, Nature Made, or nordic something (I forgot the full brand name but you can search for it on iherb (dot) com Just take at least 1,000 mg per day.

You can find a 2 bottle set at wal mart for about 10 bucks. Fish oil is not expensive. Now…..FOOD derived omega 3′s are expensive, and you don’t get as many mg as you do when you buy fish oil.

Any type of unsaturated fat helps with skin complexion. Especially olive oil. Any POLYunsaturated and/or MONOunsaturated fats will do.

Hmm, pharmaceutical grade fish oil is the kind to buy. Generic fish oil can contain high levels of mercury I believe I read somewhere…

In order to get toxic amounts of mercury, you have to have more than like, 5 grams daily. I take 2 grams daily and haven’t had adverse reactions. I’ve read that of all the marketed fish oils that you can buy, NONE of them had tracable amounts of mercury. I mean, extensive things are done to make sure that stuff does not get sold. I’m pretty sure you’re safe.

I broke my shoulder in late 2007, and my joints went crazy with inflamation – my hands, fingers, knees, etc. I could not pick up a coffee pot or hang up a sweater without pain in my joints. I started taking pharmaceutical grade fish oil, glucosamine chondroiten, and flax seed oil daily. After almost two years of this my joints are doing great! I still have nerve damage down the right arm after the broken shoulder, but my joints are absolutely wonderful. I would never have believed it.

As I previously commented, I’ve been taking taking pharmaceutical grade fish oil and flax seed oil daily for almost two years. Another amazing thing has happened. I’ve had very bad receeding gums for years, which would bleed a lot during twice a year cleanings despite my brushing well four times a day. At my last two cleanings (one today actually,) my gums are very healthy and pink. My dentist is floored by this because the only thing I have changed is that I take the fish oil and flax oil gels.

I started using fish oil out of concerns stemming from diabetes and family heart disease. I have felt healthy for a few years now. My blood sugar is now normal. After taking fish oil for a while, I began feeling more focused, stopped suffering from depression, socialized better, and imroved my reading skills. Dr. andrew Stole of harvard pioneered most discoveries. He produces a oil called omega brite. I also take natures bouny which has a very different EPA:DHA ratio than “omega brite”.

I took Omegabrite’s fish oil from August 2008 – Summer 2009. It HURT my eyes especially my right eye or the area beneath it, plus it used to make my eye lids really twitchy. On the plus side I hadn’t exercised since 2006 but when I start exercising in June 2009 my performance was really good (easily reached 180 HBM)
