Thanks for the info.  I tried fish oil capsules and ended up burping fish, it was unpleasant. Any Suggestions?

Thanks everyone for your information and comments xo

I gotta agree with Mystical with fish oil.

Here are a few more facts about fish oil for you.

Fish oil contains Omega3 fatty acids.  80% of the omega3 we consume goes directly to our brains. Our brain consists of mainly fatty issue, and requires large amounts of Omega3 to survive.

Omega3 not only feeds our brains, but promotes healing and regeneration of our neural pathways. Omega3 helps build the electrical pathways and reinforces the myelin sheaths around our nerves and electrical pathways.  This allows the correct signals to be sent and recieved around our body. Making disorders like ADD and ADHD more tolerable and easy to control. Fish oil actually helps calm people down and helps them function in pressure situations more easily and with less stress.

Recent studies (concluded in early 2009) have shown that High Quality fish oil can actually reduce the chances of Heart attack or stroke by up to 60%. This is achieved by the EPA and DHA acids within the omega 3 family breaking down the fatty plaque in our Arteries and blood circulatory system. Effectively reducing our cholesterol levels quite substantially.  I have learned this from two of the very best in the health field. Dr. Darren Dobson, who is one of Australia's leading clinical nutritionists and David Fitts who is Australia's No1 Naturopath (has trained over 700 Naturopaths in australia, and is on the research boards of some of the worlds leading natural and medical research institutes).

Fish oil is a real must in every household, to recap here I'll list the ways fish oil can help:

• Feeds your brain (Omega3 and Omega9)
• Restores and reinforces the electrical pathways in your brain
• Improves your circulation
• Can help to improve blood pressure
• Lowers cholesterol
• Helps to regulate the thickness of your blood
• Helps relieve the pain and inflammation of arthritis
• Lessens the symptoms of ADD and ADHD
• Reduces your chance of heart attack or stroke by around 60%
• Helps promote calmness in your mind and body
• Helps kids become calmer and more peaceful
• helps kids develop the ability to hold onto information in their memory
• and much much more

The problem is that there are very few high quality fish oils on the market. The only brand I know that is really worth buying, and the only brand that I recommend is Forever Living Arctic Sea Capsules.  These capsules are of the highest quality, with oil taken from freshly caught arctic water, deep sea fish. Far from fish farms and pollution sources, these capsules are the purest on the market. The oil is extracted and put through a molecular distillation process to ensure the cleanest and purest fish oil is used in each 1000mg capsule. Each capsule contains 225me EPA and 150mg DHA (these are the mega3 fatty acids), and 150mg Oleic acid (Omega9).
