Question/Comment:
The only thing I don't like about fish oil is the taste that comes back when you burp...especially if you wait to long to eat after you take the capsules. I've found that buying enteric coated fish oil caps solves that problem...but those cost nearly twice as much as the regular ones. I guess I can live with fish burps...

Question/Comment:
I have been taking Fish Oil capsules for about three years.The reason started was I notice the doctors prescribe Fish Oil for some of the patients with Alzheimers where I work. Thank God I don't have that problem or any other problem with my mind but I figure ( what the heck) it can't hurt.Maybe it will ward off any further problems down the line. Besides many years ago when I was a child my grandmom give me a dose in a spoon in a liquid form called Cod Liver Oil. I Thank whom ever came up with capsules.But one thing is for sure , since I have been taking the Fish Oil I cannot remember the last time I have had a cold. My skin is good and my hair has grown.
HOORAY FOR FISH OIL!

Do you have circulation problems? My mom has pretty bad circulation problems (she's had a bypass surgery on her leg to correct it, but it's still not great), and her hands and feet are always cold as well.

Answer/Reply:
For the person who asked if fish oil is good for smokers just what are you expecting it to do?I used to smoke. I was able to quit about ten years ago and I don't miss it one bit. My 31 year old daughter and my 28 year old son both smoke and it hurts me to my heart. Now I have heard both of them complain of cold hands.I have Raynaud's Syndrome probably from the years that I did smoke. I am mighty fearful that this is whats happening with them.
Try to stop smoking take your fish oil and have a Healthy andHappy 2009! !
