My wife takes fish oil due to potentially beneficial effects for arthritis.
Larry would know about that. The only thing I know is that you want a good quality brand if you take large doses because the better quality companies use an expensive procedure to filter out the mercury. Mercury can be bad for your nervous system.
> i've been taking fish oil "food supplements" for a year or so now. i can't say that i've noticed any change in how it's affected my depression. but from what i've read there are other health benefits so i guess, in that sense, it's still a good thing.
