Fish Oil

Post by Bander87 »

Fish oil is pretty good for your joints. I havn't tried it, but I was wondering if anyone else has?

I took Glucosomine and Fish Oil three times a day for 2-3 months and noticed no relief in my knee. Not saying it won't work for you, but it didn't do a thing for me.

Fish oil is a very healthly thing. Not only for joints... I take three caps a day... It covers my daily demand for omega-3 acids, and some other. But omega-3 is very important thing in your diet, and majority of population doesn't cover even 50% of daily demand...

I makes you stronger, healthier... It's just helps for everything in your organism.

I too take fish oil. It is the best source of Omega 3's you can consume outside of eating fish constantly without any of the worry. Fish oil isn't made specificly for joints, it's more of a supplement to enhance your circulatory functioning and getting blood lipid levels at an optimum level. I recommend it if you are very active like me and/or if you want to improve your health.


On a side note, I also take Flax Oil which is very similiar to Fish Oil but it produced through the Flax plant instead of through an animal.

Anyone ever try Cod Liver Oil? My friend swears by the stuff but I'm not sure what it's exact purpose is.


It tastes absolutely terrible though, so it must be pretty good for you.

I've been recomended to take 9(!) capsules of fish oil each day.

I only take 6, but have found that it does help ME with recovery from knee pain/injury after playing.

(any Noobs - I've had a knee injury for over a year from whirling. Had an MRI, and get to see the specialist again next month).

You can pick it up at any Pharmacy, Drug Store, or Grocery outlet for like $8 for 120 pills. Not that expensive for taking care of your body, plus it lasts for atleast a month.

Cripes, Jorden, you're getting a raw deal! It doesn't cost much here at all (in fact, less than $8 / 120). And yeah, I've been taking it ever since my ankle sprain, which cleared up in about a week and a half. Don't know if it was the fish oil that did it, but I would guess it contributed somehow... probably. o.0

COD LIVER OIL MAKES YOU SWEAT STINKY.

I recommend Flax Seed Products INSTEAD of Fish Stink. Eat Fish though.

liver oil is a vitamin d produkt, it is not ment for the good oils... a really good fishoil produkt(dont´know if you have it in the states) is Eye-Q. it dosent make you stink and you do not have to take as much oil that you have to with the the flaxseed´s oil... if you frie your fish on a pan you will destroy the good oils, same for an oven. the only good fish is sushi!

there´s lots of good produkts on the market, just go find´em, and flax seed is also a good produkt, just make sure it is coldpressed, or else you will get the opposite effect, and the oils will damage your health!

:D

I just started taking fish oil, and I've notived that I'm probably a better runner now, and I've hit longer strings, but I sweat twice as much. It's disgusting, but I'd say at least until school starts it's worth it. I didn't really have joint problems before, so I can't say much about it helping joints.

I noticed this too, but then I stopped rubbing it to my armpits and tried taking it oral instead - *whish* the problem was gone!



(I don't use fish oil, but I think now when the winter comes I'll start taking something alike ("oral emulsion", can't remember all the stuff it includes, though the flavor of orange is icky. :x ).
