Just wondering if you take Fish Oil Caps, as it's the best source of Omega 3 that is good for the heart and brain.

How do you feel after taking it for several months or even a year? Do you think it really helps to make you feel great?

[Mr. GreenTea]

There is no silver bullet or panacea that is going to make your dietary-induced problems go away overnight. There is work ahead of you, in eliminating the foods that caused the problems in the first place. That will be difficult only in relation to how hard you hold on to those foods or conversely how much in denial you are about whether or not you can continue to consume them.
Next you will have to revise you diet to take into account what problems you are going tackle and/or which is most severe. You cannot effectively take on all problems at once. Work on 1 problem every six months to a year. As you do so, many other problems will lessen in severity.

Find a good multi-vitamin, and take that along with a diet that will first lessen the effects of whatever disease or malfunction that has made life miserable, and think about superfoods and other fad-like dietary supplements only after attaining a level of health above your personal baseline (like say 75% above) so you have a cushion if you have a setback in regaining your health.

The latest research suggests that fish oil may not be all that good for you, and it is what fish eat (krill) that providing the benefits of fish oil. However, there are equally vocal detractors of krill (mostly funded by fish-oil makers) that swear krill provides little benefit. You could avoid the firefight and just add flaxseed to your diet, whatever it is, and be done with the whole Omerga-3 debate. Up to you.

I did a personal experiment where I had high doses of fish oil for around 2 months. I found it did nothing for my mood, concentration etc which was what I was using it for. It did however make an unexpected and huge improvement in pain and mobility in my joints (for instance I have what I call a right "mouse arm/shoulder" from computer use and dicky knees from sport injuries). The improvements were very marked and I doubt they were placebo. When I ceased the capsules the pain/stiffness returned to the joints, so for me the benefits were only whilst taking the capsules and not permanent.

By its very nature however, ceasing taking the pills would have stopped the placebo effect as well.

Coz some says Omega-9 is found on olive oil. Since I don't use this for cooking coz it's expensive.

[Equilibrium]

Fish oil takes about 1 month for me to feel it's effects. I can do yoga poses easier and with less joint and ligament pain. Could be a placebo but the big bottles are so cheap I only need to buy 2 a year.

[cocomilo]

Flaxseed oil is supposed to be good but might be hard to get/expensive. Not supposed to cook with it, just leave in fridge and have tablespoon a day on salad.
If you google "MUFA's Flat Belly Diet" it has some interesting information on incorporating the "good fats" into your diet, which can target belly fat in particular and stop bloating (which will make you feel thinner). It recommends olives, flaxseed oil, nuts, seeds, avocados (in small doses of course - trouble is I can't just stop at a few nuts). It doesn't seem to mention fish oil though strangely. As Equilibrium says, the big fish oil bottles are so cheap now that it won't break the budget to take them regularly.

[Montes Mobiles Eramus]

I take fish oil/flax oil combo capsules (mercury free) for both Omega 3 & Omega 6.

Taking fish oil supplements pretty much eliminated my problems with Raynaud's phenomenon. I also find I have less "brain fog" and a sharper memory.

[elroy]

I'd avoid canola. Canola doesn't come from a canola bean. It's a synthetic compound and there have been numerous negative reports on it at health forums and even mercola.com

For health, I recommend these oils:

FishOil
FlaxSeed
Sesamin
CLA

Combined, these oils make for an invincible liver and even keep your weight stable.

You'll notice how you won't even suffer from hangovers by taking such oils after a drinking binge
