Omega-3 Supreme 1400 mg Fish Oil Concentrate 180ct Review

Got for free for a review however the review reflects only the product.

"MayoClinic.com notes there is strong evidence that the EPA and DHA in fish oil capsules lower triglycerides, slow hardening of the arteries and reduce the risk of death from heart attacks and strokes. MedlinePlus reports that fish oil also may help ease rheumatoid arthritis and menstrual pain, reduce the risk of vision-impairing macular degeneration and protect pregnant women from a particular kind of miscarriage, although more research is needed to confirm these benefits. When taken in doses of 3 grams or less, fish oil supplements appear to be safe for most people, including pregnant and breastfeeding women."

They could at least gift the placebo effect of feeling healthier and the cons aren't too bad but "An unpleasant aftertaste and fish-smelling burps are two common side effects of fish oil supplements. You also may experience bad breath, heartburn, nausea, mild diarrhea and a rash. High doses have more serious risks. Taking more than 3 grams a day could keep blood from clotting and increase the risk of bleeding, which can be particularly hazardous if you cut yourself or need emergency surgery. Although low doses of fish oil supplements may protect you from having a stroke, high doses actually can have the opposite effect, increasing the risk of stroke, cautions Medline Plus. High doses also may impair immunity. Consult your doctor before taking high doses of fish oil supplements."


I like them though and the side effects sound to be quite rare. I'll keep taking em!
