Fish oil is it not good for us?

I think fish oil is good but you have to be careful what you take. I have read that you need to stay away from certain fish oils like anchovie oil which is included most fish oil pills. The best form of oil is Flax for omega 3's along with salmon and cod oil and of course if you are not allergic to shellfish then also krill oil. There are some things in flax that are not in cod oil as with the reverse for each. That's as much as I know. Personally I cant take krill because of my allergy to shell fish so I take organic flaxseed oil and a cod liver oil alternating between the 2. Of course if you eat enough fish then you wouldn't have to take a supplement but who eats that much fish etc...

i take fermented cod liver oil from green pastures. it's hella expensive and is hard to get down. i was taking regular cod liver oil before this and that had no taste to it. i'm sure i could just get a can of cod livers and ferment them myself for a portion of the price.

capsules are definitely easier to take. i switch off between krill oil capsules, too. i get a good variety.

either way, i've never noticed any negative effects from taking them. the first week, i had a little increase in frequency but it eventually leveled off.

therearemiracles,

I have been using Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega for over a year now. I think it is great!

on the advice of our functional dr we switched from green pastures fermented clo to the nordic naturals ultimate omega. she said it had a higher amount of something of other and a better ratio of something and something else and it was better for our purposes.
