Fish Oil?

Posted on 02/25/09, 03:17 am
What are fish oil tablets good for? I heard its good for lowering your cholesterol and a few others that I cant remember. Just thought I would ask since a friend has to take them.

    I too have heard they are good to lower your cholesterol. I can't remember what else they are good for. Maybe I'll Google it and see what I find out. Just remember to take them before you eat or you might belch fish taste for a while. That has happened to me.

    Stabilizing mood, it has omegas 3s which are rare in our diets these days (this is what helps cholesterol), and has an anti-inflammatory effect

    Fish oil is great and provides the "good fats" .. may want to take it at night before you go to bed.

    Why take it at night? Maybe because if it makes your breath stink, it wont matter?

    Mine has Omega 3,6, and 9 fatty acids (which are very healthy for you like heartgirl said) in it from flaxseed, fish, and borage oil. It says it helps the cardio system, nervous system, and skin health. It also makes my hair shinier and softer. I have always eaten fish at least once a week too. I like the fact that I don't have to eat as much fish because I don't like the stinky breath that fish gives me.

    I would read the back of it before taking it though-just incase you have a medical disorder that it would affect.
