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!
