    Fish oils?

    Does anyone take fish oils, as a supplement for your joints. Does it help at all?

      Yes, I take 3,000mg am and another 3,000mg pm, have been for years and I can say that it has had a positive effect on my joints. ALso, it is so damn cheap, get 400/1,000mg capsules at Costco for like 8bucks, so why not.

          How long did it take before you noticed any effects on your joints? Roughly.

              Really? Do you just supplement your normal diet or replace a meal with them? Hows do you do this bro?

                        Fish oil is the gold standard reducing joint inflammation by brute force of its EPA, and the only reason I don't use it on as regular basis is the cost factor. Lately I've been taking the capsules just like BSD, 3000 am and 3000 pm. I prefer the bottled fish oil, but the cost difference is insane.

                            yes sir, it is the best fat source I have came across so far. Besides salmon and fish oil pills, where do you get your fat from? PB and other nuts are ok, but omega6 is inferior to the 3's imo.
