Fish OilSubmitted by lana on Thu, 05/29/2008 - 4:56pm.
I know fish oil was discussed the other day, and I've looked into it, but there are so many kinds! What kind do you get? are Nordic Naturals or Carlson's. I buy cod liver oil, because it has Vitamin D in it, which is very important for proper calcium use. "Fundamentally the markswoman aims at herself"DT Suzuki With some types of supplements, it doesn't matter if they are cheap or not. Fish oil has HUGE quality issues - mercury, PCBs, hexane, spoilage. I would go with one of those brands, too, or one that you know a lot about its quality. As for dosage, most of the research is on higher dosages. it depends on what you want to take it for. You can just follow the label instructions, but you may want to look into the effective dosages for what you want out of it. Sunflower the unflower I take one that is Fish, Borage and Flax blend. It was super cheap, so I take 2 instead of one, thinking the potency is low. It seems to help though. I wouldn't recommend the brand, but I like the blend.

Carlsons is the brand that we use. It's more expensive (approx $42 for a big bottle) but the lemon flavor is nice and I,too, have read that the quality standards are higher.
