There is a brand new trial done on the effectiveness of fish oil for depression, showing it was VERY effective.
HOWEVER, they used a different form of fish oil EPA, called E-EPA (short for Ethyl-Eicosapentaenoate). The significance of the E-EPA is that it is effective at only 1 gram, vs. the MASSIVE doses of normal fish oil that Dr. Stoll used in his earlier trial (it is impractical for us to take the massive dose used in Stoll's trial).
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN BUY E-EPA? I HAVE CHECKED ONLINE STORES, AND NOBODY CARRIES IT.P.S.- I am on Omegabrite (a small dose, EPA derivitive), and it gives a moderate benefit.
