Guest guest Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 It really does help! My son's moods are definently evened out. It will take a month or so to see a difference so don't give up!! We use Shaklee Omega Guard. I am a Distributor with Shaklee. Jake is almost 9 and takes two a day. Another good one is http://www.kirkmanslab.com They carry the Nordic Naturals brand. Very small, great for little ones, and come in Strawberry and Lemon flavor. DO NOT buy this in over the counter. You have no idea how long they have been there nor how they are tested for mercury. Buy these types of products from a reputable company. There is very little regulation on products like this for over the counter. Jake had a hard time taking these at first. I put them in a prescription bottle and told him his Dr. prescribed him something new. Since he is a "rule boy", he took them no problem since the "dr." prescribed them. LOL!

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Tonya, Just make sure your son isnt allergic to any kind of fish before giving.. I used to give it to my son when he was about 4..Didnt notice any change much,but that was then.. Imay try again..I tried fish oil myself once and it gave me very loose stool, so dont know if your son would have that side effect or not..

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Yes, my son takes the Nordic Naturals lemon flavor and loves it.I did have to tell him in the beginning that this was smart medicine. And that it would make him smarter. He was impressed with that and now asks for it every day.marieFrom: happybrats3@... <happybrats3@...>Subject: Re: ( ) Fish oil capsules Date: Thursday, January 8, 2009, 10:27 AM It really does help!

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 My rheumatologist also recommended fish oil and the brand I use (not Kirkland but I buy it at Costco) says two a day. Depends on the potency. Fish oil is good for a lot of things and it certainly won't hurt you. I am in remission but continue to take it every day.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 I always check my fish oil for purity - no heavy metals. That means I have to buy the more expensive stuff so I only take one fish oil a day. An inexpensive, clean substitute is flax seed oil so I take a fish oil in the morning and flax oil in the evening. I think it does help me feel a little better, a little healthier. Janette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 How much fish oil are you consuming a day? How much fish oil did your doctor recommend you consume a day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Hi , <<I know several people in the group recommended taking fish oil capsules I'm curious what dosage others are using and if you saw an improvement and how soon.>> I tried them too, at three per day, for almost a year. I saw absolutely no effect whatsoever on my health, and a slight negative effect on my pocket. So I dropped them. Fish oil does contain some essential nutrients which your body needs, but you can get all of these in sufficient quantities from normal, healthy food (including fish!). Manfred.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I look for " purified " and then read the fine print for " free of detectable levels of mercury, cadmium, lead and PCBs " or 'free of heavy metals " or some similar wording.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 I thought I'd try 1 bottle and see if there was a positive effect and then decide if I was going to continue. I have enough for about 6 MOS. Thanks for the input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 Hi, I'm taking " Ethical Nutrients " Hi-Strength Fish oil Liquid. Its sounds like it would taste awful but its not that bad. It only has a slight oily texture mixed with an orange flavour but you only need 5mls per day which is the equivalent of 9 fish oil capsules or like 1 kg of fish! I take it with my breakfast so the taste goes away straight as I eat something. It is definitely helping to " oil " my joints and as an added bonus it helps keep you " regular " and my doc reckons its great for your brain too!
