I’ve heard very good things about high-EPA/decent DHA fish oil thats molecularly-distilled.
This seems to be a frequent recommendation (particularly if you don’t eat seafood or fish) in many health circles and I’d like to get everyone’s thoughts on best products, practices, etc.
I’ve personally noticed some powerful effects from fish oil: 1) it can act as a neotropic booster, particularly in conjunction with SRI’s and similar meds / substances, 2) it can cause me significant insomnia (no arrhythmia) if I take ~6-8 capsules.
Is that germane to this thread? Probably not, but something seems to be going on. Maybe fish oil has been studied so far on too limited a basis.

I guess I should have said “ineffective for the various health claims”. Anything can have an effect if taken in large enough doses. :)

The other point I want to throw out there is that Omega 3 is essential, it cannot be endogenously provisioned, and I’m not sold that ALA sufficiently stands in for EPA and DHA
Understood; just wanted to add on.
My point is more or less that this doesn’t have to be a closed-book situation about fish oil. Maybe it can help in some other way, and/or maybe it really can work as ‘advertised’ in conjunction with other substances. Certainly wouldn’t be the first time, if so.
