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.

Take Omega-3 Nordic Capsules. It is non-gmo and natural. As I have come to know the western diet gets too much omega-6 and too little omega-3. SO I decided to take Omega-3 capsules for joint pain and depression. For the past 6 months I have felt more content and happier and my joint pain has all but vanished. TAKE OMEGA-3 if you have joint pain!

Fish oil has made such a difference for me. It significantly reduced my ESR to lowest it's been in approximately 10 years, and it helped reduce my fatigue.I would definitely recommend giving it a try. I take 3g daily.

I have been living with psoriasis since my pregnancy with my third child. My psoriasis began during that pregnancy. I was restricted from treatment after, due to breastfeeding until she was six months old. I went on clobetasol shortly after and it only helped slightly. I was still peeling off patches of skin at a time. I went to the specialist and they wanted to put me on Humira. I wanted anything to help me. I was depressed, just anything would help. Then I received a letter from my insurance company that denied me that prescription. I tried other avenues. I tried fish oil. It has changed so much. I do not have the flaky skin anymore. My hands, elbows and legs have transformed in the short two weeks of using fish oil. It has helped me so much. Don't get me wrong. This has helped. I still have a few psoriasis patches yet. Not sure if they are a different type of psoriasis since I know there are different kinds but they are improving (not flaking, just red),they are improving, just at a slower pace than the others. Please try this, it can not hurt. You will see a change in a week and great results in two. Its worth a shot.Read More Read Less

I was recommended fish oil to prepare for pregnancy. I had taken it previously, but couldn't handle the fish burps and slight nausea during the day. So, this time, I have taken to freezing the pills and taking them at night. I must just have a sensitive stomach, because the nausea has progressed to waking up in the middle of the night to vomit. I can't do it.

I recently read in Prevention that Fish Oil could help with the inflammation caused by arthritis in my hips.I started taking three pills a day, each having 1000 mg. Within two days, I felt a difference. The warmth and redness surrounding the hip area dissipated, and I had less pain. I do have bone on bone, so if I do too much; I still have that horrid sensation that is associated with it. I do sometimes have a problem, when I go to stand up, but so far I am able to deal with this.

Omega-3 oils tend to thin the blood and this may be the reason it lowers blood pressure

There isn't a category for anxiety, agitation, or mood swings, so I had to put my review under bipolar disorder. I take 2000 mg of omega 3s in fish oil daily with fluoxetine (Prozac) and it makes a HUGE difference. I drive much slower, I'm much more patient, and people don't aggravate me half as much. Fish oil works by reducing inflammation in the brain on a sub-cellular level which allows the neurotransmitters in the brain to be able function more efficiently without misfiring (which is believed to be the cause of many mood disorders). Regardless if you're suffering general anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, or any number off issues, fish oil will only help. Be sure to read the label, just because it says 1000 mg on the bottle means very little. What is important are how many mg of actual omega 3s are in each capsule. Most drug store brands have about 300mg of omega 3s and to be effective for mood disorders, you need 2000-3000 mgs of omega 3s daily. Specifically EPA. I hope this helps ..Read More Read Less

My Dr. put me on 1400mg of fish oil with (647mg of EPA & 253 mg of DHA)per capsule to take twice daily. The only side effect I have is my bowel movements changed drastically; from normal to almost diarrhea,but has helped my high blood pressure and high colesterol.

I started using Thera Tears nutritional supplement for dry eye syndrome and within about 3 weeks the change was noticable. My eyes feel so much better and I don't have to use eye drops every day.
