User Reviews for fish oil

I take Lamictal on a regular basis, and when I take 3000mg of fish oil daily (I take the capsules because I don't like the taste) it makes me feel so much better than just the lamictal alone. My natropath told me about it, it works amazing. So does thyroid support supplements, they are known for help with weight loss, but it also boosts your mood. I have never smelled like a fish, nor has anyone told me I smell like a fish, so I don't know where that person got that.

Although initially started taking fish oil for the cardio benefits, I have noticed an improvement in my attention span. Although, I still have problems sleeping at night, this is all because I've always been a night owl.

I have been taking approximately (as prescribed ) 8 grams of high EPA/DHA fish oil a day in three doses equaling about 5.5 grams of omega 3s. I have been suffering with treatment resistant depression for about 6 years. This treatment along with diet modification and added exercise has had an enormous effect in treating my depression symptoms. Also used are vitamin D and SAMe. The depression was improving with the fish oil alone as I was taking it 3 weeks before the other supplements and really kicked in after adding the other supplements. I have also noted other health benefits like most of my knee pain is gone and the swelling from my recent knee replacement has greatly diminished. It could be coincidence but I have not had an asthma attack since using the fish oil.Read More Read Less

My finger joints had such severe arthritis that they would literally sting. The condition had existed for more than ten years. I started taking 1000mg per day of fish oil to help with my cholesterol. A side-benefit turned out to be the complete disappearance of these inflammation symptoms in my joints. No more stinging has occurred. It has been two and a half years.

Honestly I haven't seen any changes. i can't find out what it does for me but i have SLE and I was also prescribed Plaquenil. So I'm not sure which one might be working for me cause I started them both at the same time

I am a 33 year old mother of 2 beautiful children. I have been taking the fish oil now for a month now. So far, so good. I have been on a beta-blocker for almost 3 years prior to experimenting with fish oil. I was looking for a way to lower my cholestorol and combat pressure related issues. I have high anxiety from school, motherhood, work and life's daily struggles. I have found that the overall effects from the fish oil would be less stress and better sleep.

Cod Liver Oil (lemon flavored) was recommended for RA pain and swelling. After 1 week of 1 tsp, once a day I had significantly less pain and swelling and more range of motion.

I use to have to wait for an hour before I could turn on the stove because of pain in my hands. After around 6 months of taking 6 codliver capsuls daily one hour before eating I can use my hands for anything as soon as I get up. I'm 72.

I have more range of movement and less inflammation. You should ensure that when taking Omega 3s that the DHA level is quite high (200 or more) and that it is molecularly distilled to remove any toxins/heavy metals - cheaper fish oil capsules that are not molecularly distilled can make your condition worse. Should be taken with meals to prevent stomach upset (I take one capsule three times a day).

Works great for joint pain. Rather quickly too. Within a few days. I have tried several brands and find either expensive or not it works.

After a few months of taking fish oil, my arthritis pain is greatly diminished, my blood work is better, and my blood pressure is better. I feel ten years younger.

This supplement helps in easing my pain

Taking Omega 3's with Lipase has helped ease anxiety and depression and gives an over all sense of well being as well as easing digestive issues. Try different brands. Purchase at health food stores.

My eye doctor started me on fish oil for dry eye but when I went in for my 3 month check up with my heart doctor my blood test showed my cholesterol had dropped from 189 to 161, my triglycerides were in the normal range and my HDL was 58. All great improvement since being on the fish oil supplements which were the only change I had made. Also, my blood pressure had dropped from 139/89 to 108/68 something i hadn't seen in years. Also, my dry eye has gone away. Will definitely keep taking.

less pain more movement

I use it for pain from inflamation from RA, also am using it for cholesterol benefits, having had a MI in 2000 and high LDL and Trig. Both have seem to have lowered pretty well. Feel better all the way around even tho' I have CHF also.

well i have high blood pressure but it's under control with meds and some supplements like the fish oil. after taking the fish oil for a month i was able to reduce the medication dose by 1/2 !

My son 8 yrs. old, for a good 8 months had a severe case of Psoriasis from the neck down. We were told to try fish oil, that night I did not use any of his steroid creams and gave him a small dose of liquid fish oil, from the supermarket(added to fruit punch), the next evening I did the same thing. Within 12 hrs his entire body was clear of Psoriasis. Whenever we see a patch coming about, I give him a small amount of fish oil (in a juice because of the taste)Since the first night of use, we have not used any of his steroid creams and notified all of the skin Dr's we had seen. It is a miracle!!!! Read More Read Less

Recommended by my primary care physician some 10 yrs ago, I've been routinely taking fish oil capsules containing Omega 3 ranging from 755 mg to 980 mg per capsule. Brand name either Nature Made or Kirkland (not seen in drop-down menu). Not sure if it is really effective against hypertension. If did not take blood pressure pill (Amlodipine) on the same day for a few days, bld pres might (not always) increase, even fish oil was taken on those days. Have recently suspended taking fish oil due to a July 2013 National Cancer Institute publication that fish oil supplement (Omega 3) can lead to prostate cancer. Shall consult with doctor in next appointment. Am surprised that WebMD does not mention and discuss this latest important finding to warn male readers. A medical doctor on eHealth Forum reported he cut down fish oil supplement himself after reading the NCI article. Also, I saw scientific articles that fish oil can lower platelet counts. Did not see this info on WebMD--whether the finding is creditable or not. Would like to see a response and discussion from WebMD. Read More Read Less
