Fish Oil

[emsy99]

My husband takes fish oil for arthritis. It does seem to help. He takes the oil rather than the capsules. He's been told you would have to have a silly about of capsules ( like, say 20 a day) to have the same effect as a couple of spoons of the oil.

So does anyone know more about the different kinds of fish oil. I heard you can take it as oil, flakes or capsules. What is the difference and which one works better?

How does the fish oil help his pain? Does it contain vitamins that soothe the nerves?

Hi, I assume this question is to me? If so, sorry but I really don't know. The doctor recommended it to him. It isn't a pain reliever as such, more that it relieves the actual condition.

I have heard of a few people taking it for this reason.

They had recommended both my parents takes fish oil for arthritis, I seemed to hear less complaining of pain after they started so I'm assuming it worked
