What has been your experience with fish oil supplements?!
Question: My doctor has suggested I start taking fish oil supplements - she specifically recommended the Nordic Naturals brand.
Do they taste fishy? Maybe a silly question, I know. Have you found that they've helped? My problem has to do with elevated liver enzymesl.

Fish oil is a natural safe and very potent anti inflammatory. If you have pain, it very well is caused by inflammation and fish oil will block it. My chronic low back pain and my bleeding gums all got better after I started fish oil....minimum dose is 1200 mg EPA and 600 mg DHA forget for the moment the amount of "fish oil" in the dose. keeps platelets from clumping thus lowering risk of stroke and heart attack. and good for "heart disease" in general. and new research shows that fish oil is marvelous against depression and other brain issues. I use Rx Omega-3 from Natural Factors and there is no fish burp.
They can taste a little fishy, try finding ones that are coated. I take them sometimes, and we give them to my dog.
The plus side: They make your hair glossy!
I have found that they have done very little. I consume a 100% Natural Dietry supplment that has Omega 3,6, &9 and over 92 verifable nutrients and I threw away all my centrums and synthetic pills.
The Nordic is the best quality. I can't take any of them even when they say no fish taste fruit flavored I still taste the fish and I hate fish. I have to take the flaxseed oil or primrose oil. Any essential omega fatty acid type is good.
The oils are good for memory, brain function, cognitive thinking motor skills, heart and cholestrol.
My doctor recommended fish oil to me because of my high blood pressure and I'm at higher risk for stroke and heart attack.
If you have nothing else to lose, you can try them. I personally did not notice any difference, but my blood pressure was said to be lowered. Was it the fish oil that helped?
I do know since I've been giving my child omega 3 items supplementing her foods that her grades have improved. I've been giving her ensure with omega 3 and have gotten milk and butter with omega 3. Was it that or was it prayer or both?
Give it a try, also try flushing out your system with some water each day. I have even sat in a hot sweaty room and exercised when I could to sweat out the salts so I could replace the lost water in my system with fresh ice cold water as well as made dietary changes. If you don't want a fish oil taste you can also try beverages and foods that have omega 3 added to them, and you can do all natural dietary changes that could possibly help.
Fish oils are fantastic for the body highly recommended to females for our WONDERFUL problems, fish oil covers a lot of areas in health, you can buy oderless fish oil, but some do repeat on you later in the day. Don't go for a cheap brand these generally do repeat on you and you will taste it, try a well known brand like Blackmores or Natures Own Omega 3 fish oil, this is also great for brain function and colds
Odourless fish oil capsules can be obtained for a higher price.
If you take them with a meal your body will absorb them better you will have less chance of burping fish taste. i use a combo form of fish and flaxseed tablets that does not have me burping fish. you can also eat more walnuts and tuna in your diet to help this along as well. I have less arthritis pain now.
