No, I haven't heard that before, but I know fish oil is good for a few things. My doctor told me to start taking fish oil recently to bring my cholesterol down. I've been taking fish oil now for almost a month and I've noticed that I have more energy and that I don't have the bouts of anxiety that I had before. So I would say that it does help with depression. I'm noticing it.

Yes, yes and yes!

Fish oil that is high in omega 3 helps your body to make a natural form of vitamin B which is more potent than the vitamin B that you get in a pill because your body made it and helps balance omega 6's.

A study found that 80% of all Americans walking around today are omega 3 deficient. The omegas come from fish and fish oils also from Flax Seed oil which is what I take.

Omega's help you fight nasties and are essential for the production of your body's natural vitamin B.

It's awesome everyone should take it.

Best,


Paula

I haven't heard of it being good for depression but DH takes it to help with his asthma...

What is better to take, Fish Oil or Flaxseed Oil? Has anyone had success of any kind with either one?

Paulalouise

I should correct myself - omega 3's help balance omega 6's and omega 3's are found in fish oil and flax seed oil - I personally take flax seed oil.

Here is a link to an article I found which will hopefully better explain it - but there are heaps of studies and articles on line if you go looking.
