I'm just wondering if you believe that Fish Oil helps you at all? I'm taking the Pure Encapsulations Fish Oil, and although I see no benefits yet, there is an aftertaste that I don't like at all.
I'm going to keep taking them, just wondering if any of you are experiencing any benefits?

I don't think fish oil is something that hits you and you feel better. I think it helps your body to heal damaged cells. It also promotes healthy brain function and some say it helps repair damaged brain cells. I cannot say how true that is, but I have been doing a lot better since I started taking QUALITY fish oils. whenever I take blue Ice fermented cod liver oil, I nbotice a big difference. Really good stuff, but its too expensive, so I cannot take it all the time.
I think Fish Oil particularly Cod liver oil has major benefits and shouldnt be a supp that we skip.

When I first began taking fish oil, I didn't like the fishy burps. We used to camp by a lake when I was a girl, and I remember the aroma of dead fish at the water's edge. Blech.
Then I tried Carlson's lemon flavored fish oil, what a difference.
Now I'm taking an orange flavored fish oil that is very high in EPA. I can notice a reduction in joint pain and headaches.
Fish oil will reduce inflammation and "thin" the blood, and it improves the integrity of cell wall membranes. Because of this, more oxygen and nutrients can pass through cell walls, and the ATP in the mitochondria can make energy like they are supposed to.
The cells function better, and you have less pain and more energy.

I read a tip in a magazine: keep the fish oil in the freezer.
By time it thaws, it is past the burping fish taste stage. Works for us.

derk, You may need to try a fish oil that has a high ratio of EPA. And you may need to increase your dose.
Some fish oils that have a very high ratio of EPA include:
