After a few blood work tests, my primary doctor was concerned that mymy triglyceride triglyceride level was too high. My doctor recommened fish oil capsules. After 3 months, my blood test showed a 30 point drop in my triglyceride.

I started taking Fish Oil December 2014. I have joint pain and swelling of the hands and stomach. Not sure if it is working yet, but, it might kill me first.

I had been taking Niacin 500 mg daily and getting minimal results. When we added the fish oil 4000 mg daily, within 4 months, my total cholesterol was lowered 14 points, triglycerides 59 points, LDL 17 points and raised my HDL 15 points. My doctor is thrilled and so am I! CVS Brand.

My Dr recommended fish oil because I had joint problems as well as hormonal issues. Since using the omega 3's in fish and flax oils I have noticed better moods along with better mobility and less joint pain.

Taking Nordic brand orange flavored fish all. No mercury, contaminants. Very helpful in Cholesterol management and lowering risk of forming blood clots. Full cod liver oil by spoon. Blood test results of hdl and ldl improved. Not just Omega 3 or Omega 3-6-9, but the actual liquid cod liver oil.

I just started taking CoQ 10 fish oil mainly for my joint pain. Everything I have read about 'fish oil' doesn't have joint pain within their reasons for taking it. I have no heart problems or anything else they mention. I've had back surgery ... I don't know what fish oil does for that, I've been having recurring headaches since I started taking it. Is that one of the side effects? thank you! I have been having headaches ever since. Is that one of the side effects?

I have had high blood presure for the past 12 yrs. and on Lotrel 5/20. Over the past year, there has been time it was up to 180/120 but not the best on a good day. After starting on Fish Oil/Omega-3&6, my blood pressure has decreased. After a Dr.'s appt. today, it was at my best, 123/72. I have changed nothing but starting takeing Fish Oil with Omega- 3&6 liquid softgel capsule.

Dr. told my husband to take fish oil with vit.D before and after his hip repacement and me to take it for my knees. Deceased knee pain tremendously,low vit.D levels went up to normal, hair is thicker and shiny. I am trying to get chloesterol levels down. Take 1900-2600 mg daily with meals.TIP-keeping pills in fridge after opening bottle prevents unpleasant fish burps or aftertaste. Really helps to take cold pills.
