Do any one you use quality omega oil supplements , in particular Salmon oil or high quality cod liver oil ? If so , have you noticed improvement ?

I use Opti Omega 3 from Healthspan,as tests showed it had top quality filtration methods for purity.Just upped to 2,000 a day.as I am tapering off SSRIs & the forum recommends a minimum of 2,000 plus vitamin E in mixed tocapherols.

Cod Liver Oil also has vitamin A & I'm not sure if we are still advised to avoid vitamin A except as beta carotene?

Thank you Naomi for your reply . Have you noticed improvement since taking it ?

I am aware of vitamin A in Cod liver - this is why I chose Carlson - low levels of vit A and highest EPA and DHA plus vit E I ever come across ( pills or oil ) and it’s natural oil without additives ( it wasn’t cheap at £40 for 500ml bottle ) , plus high content of vit D

But I am considering swapping over to quality Sockeye salmon once this bottle is used up

Will read the articles now.Thanks for posting.I use capsules.I can't say I've noticed any effects,but think its a good supplement to take.As I take so many & also have to pay for NDT & LDN,I always source best quality I can afford,at a price I can afford.This means I get all my supplements from Ebay shops.Plus Healthspan for non-acidic vit C & Omega 3.

not impressed with thyroid advisor.advice to use bladderwrack & kelp & iodine ill advised

Being vegan, I use flax seed oil. Krill oil might avoid the vitamin A controversy

It's hard to be sure, but I'm still around more than 10 years after a breast cancer diagnosis with no conventional treatment.
