I've been using fish oil for years now....it's great stuff
I've just recently started taking fish oil supplements for about a year now. My mother swears they help with keeping the old ticker running well. The tablets are so large though, that I find myself skipping it some days. Does anyone know how much fish oil you're suppose to take a day. I heard that it is to no benefit if you don't take at least 2000mg a day.
Hi;
I try to have lots of fresh fish (and reduced red meats) in my diet to reduce cholesterol and avoid having to take statins. As your article points out, even with an improved diet fish oil / omega-3 supplements are still recommended.
I have been giving my autistic son fish oil 3 times a day for about 4 years now and noticed a difference within a few days. His concentration increased and he also seemed to be more focused for longer periods. When I first started giving it to him, I didn't tell anyone and it was interesting when his teacher also noticed some increase in him too.
I heard that fish oil is also good for your eye site? Has anyone else heard that?
After having tried several cures for eczema, I found that eliminating certain types of fish, particularly oily fish like Tuna, seemed to ease eczema. So I would be interested to see other research where fish oil is thought to help with eczema...
