If you're concerned about your Omega 3:6 ratio, you should. You can also take flax oil which has similar benefits. If you get fish oil caps, get the no burps kind. Fish oil burps on an empty stomach is no fun!
Barleans makes a fantastic tasting fish oil lemon slurry, and I highly recommend it.0 -
Look up the benefits of fish oil on the internet.
Ask your doctor.
I take lovaza- a prescription fish oil to help lower triglycerides.0 -
I take two pills before bed. I hate the taste of fish. I found if you take them during the day/evening you can get "fish" burps and it gaged me. So taking it before bed has gotten rid of this issue. I began taking them becouse my Doctor reccomended it. It has helped lower my T somethings. ( Forgot Medical Name)0

I would. Your body needs it, those healthy Omegas.Later you may be taking Lipator to control Cholesterol if you don't0

Use flax instead it has omega 3 in it. I hate fish and just finished a bottle of fish oil it was gross, you will burp fish taste. You won't need cholesterol meds if you don't take fish oil. I've never taken or eaten any of that and my cholesterol is great.0

I personally think everybody should, unless you are getting Omega 3 (fish/salmon) 3 X a week from foods. Make sure you get a suppliement that is Omega 3 and not Omega 6, that is very unncessary and found in all the junk food anyway. You should get 720 mg of DHA in your Omega 3 for health benefits. Read the label because you can buy some that you will have to take 2 before every meal but there are some with a high amount of DHA and you will only have to take 2 in the morning. You will get used to the fish taste when you burp after while. They are woth it and sooooo food for you!!!!0

I love fish but i also take Fish Oil 2,400mg/700mg Omega-3 every day, it's great for your Heart as well0

I have taken Omega 3 for quite some time and still have to take Cholesterol meds. It really depends on your family history, your cholesterol level and what your doctor says. Its great though if you can get rid of meds by a great exercise and diet routine.0

Fish oil for me seems to help a lot of things, including my skin - it seems that I don't have dry skin anymore. Could be something else, but since I've been taking it - no more flaky skin!0

I used to take fish oil and it made me ill. I now take flaxseed oil as well as eating fish at least 3 times a week0

Ive been taking fish oil for more then a year and Im now amazing! ...See0

I take one pill everyday.
Side Note: For some reason, I always end up squeezing my Fish Oil pills before taking them, just to see how flexible I can make them (weird, I know) Anyway, today the capsule busted and I ended up with fish oil all over my hand and desk. I guess the moral of the story is don't play with your Fish Oil capsules lol0 -
