Guest · Post by **Guest** » Mon Aug 25, 2008 4:47 am

i've always been afraid to take it because I dont want the "fish burps" does that happen?!? lol

I dont want that fishy after taste either!!! If that even happens, I seen that they had ones that said "no fishy burps" but I dont trust it!

I've taken the Arctic Cod Liver Omega 3 liquid for a long time now. Lemon flavor, no fish burps. My Endocrinologist recommended it- 1,000mg. My moods are more even than they used to be, so maybe it has helped with this.

Susan,
Glad you're logged on. I just left you a private message, not knowing how to get in touch with you re: omega-3. When you do read it, please, instead of private, could you respond on forum. Any help you could give, I think it could benefit so many of us. Thanks again. Suzzie

Hi Everyone:
I take omega 3. It helps to lower bad cholesterol. And is good for the heart. It is good for so many things. It helps keep one regualr too.
I also take B-complex vitamins. Have for a long time.
Plus the liquid B-12 which is really good for depression and everything else.
Calcium and magnesium help us a lot too.
Sure I have to swallow a lot of pills. But I'm relatively healthy for my age, which is 79 years.
Good luck to all.
Mary Jane

Hi MaryJane:

I take Omega 3 and a multivitamin....how much calcium and magnesium is theraputic for anxiety and depression? How much do you take daily?

Thanks,
Lynn

Hi Lynn:
I take about 1200 mlg. of calcium daily and 250 mlg. of magnesium. You can take more but that seem adequate for me.
I take a calcium with Vitamin D in it.

One lady on here takes a mixture of calcium and magnesium at night, very potent amount and it helps her sleep.

I definitely sleep better with what I take.
Hope this helps.

Suzzie, I sent you a PM. I take 2 fish oil, One in the morning “after I eat” ,and one after supper. CVS Super B Complex in the morning. And I eat can tuna 2 to 3 times a week. I say it’s the fish oil that has helped me! My hair looks better not as dry, and I use to have slit ends not any more. My nails are growing and my skin looks better. Just go online and research the benefits of fish oil. Susan

Just an FYI.....if you are unsure of fish oil supplements or are worried about fish burps you can get your daily value of omega 3 by eating 6 walnuts! I read this in a book the Dr. Oz (Oprah's Dr.) I do both the walnuts and the supplements to ensure I am getting enough! Hope this helps!!
