Omega 3 supplements?

SPOILEDkiwi · Jun 23rd, 2007, 01:02 AM

I'm curious if anyone here takes Omega 3 supplements, and if they have noticed any effects. I heard that taking them can improve your skin and help acne, which I badly need because my hormones are going haywire and giving me cysts. Thanks!

Here is an article on Omega-3's which recommends good supplement brands to take - http://nutrition.about.com/od/health...omega3oils.htm

You can also find Omega-3's in fish such as salmon. I eat salmon a couple of times a week. It's very tasty, packed with protein and is an excellent source of Omega-3's. Just food for thought

since the best source is from natural foods. But supplements can be the next best thing

Yes I take them and have noticed a difference. My hair is shinier, and my skin tends to have that "glow" to it. I take flaxseed oil caplets which contain a good deal of Omega 3. I also read somewhere that flaxseed oil can help prevent cancer!

Omega 6 tends to better to help balance hormones but Flaxseed (linseed) oil as mentioned above is a good source of both 3 & 6

I take one every night before bed and haven't noticed anything.
I take it anyhow, I also take a flax seed when I remember.
I take the fish oil at night. . . because beware of fish burps

NOT kidding.
