Fish Oil tablets

[borahae]

Has anyone tried taking fish oil (omega 3) tablets? Do they help with anxiety and how much do you take per day?

Hi

I take them occasionally because they are good for health generally. I am not sure if they directly effect anxiety but indirectly they are likely to be helpful by contributing to your general heath and well being.

Very best wishes.

My GP put me on two 1000 mg pills of fish oil a day about 5 years ago, then my eye doctor said to make it 3 times a day. Everything I have read on it says it helps with all our body systems. It is supposed to help with cholesterol issues, and almost every process in our bodies. I just read a report that turmeric is best taken at high doses like 2000 mg per day for brain health. I guess I will up that dosage too. I also take 400 mg alpha lipoic acid which is an antioxidant, when I remember to take it.

May I know how much epa and dha are in your pills?

Yes. Actually, the ones I'm currently taking say 300 mg of total omega-3 fatty acids, of EPA and DHA. This was a freebie, not one I bought. I usually purchase one that tells exactly how much is in them. I try to get the most potent for the $.
