Hi, I'm a 22 year old male and have been on multivitamins and other asian herb medicine treatments and i can say that the only thing that comes close to giving me substantial results is this Now Foods DHA 500 omega three fatty acids supplement.

Here's What i take daily.

Serving Size is one softgel and each Softgel provides:

Natural Fish Oil Conentrate 1,000mg

Omega 3 fatty-acids 750 mg

DHA 500 mg

EPA 250 mg


My daily routine consists of Taking 5 softgels a day at least.

So if you put it all together I'm taking 5,000mg of natural fish oil concentrate which supplies 3750mg of Omega 3 fatty acids. Which Im getting 2500 mg of DHA every day and 1,250mg of Epa as well.


What i have found through this 3 week trial is the following. My first week was really bizzare as i began to have very watery eyed and tearing up or having itchy crying eyes during the day. I thought this was allergies so i didn't panic and stayed on my at least 5 pill a day routine ( i used to take up to 8 pills a day on that first week). Immediately after the 1st week i started seeing promising results as my acne was not getting worse. My second week the watery eye thing started to fade and i still don't know if it was allergies or making my Body get used to this amount of Fish oil.

Now on my third week i have had no major big outbreak whatsoever and i don't really know if it truly has been the fish oil, but i mean as i write right now, my skin hasn't been this Flat ( with no major bumps) in about like for a while, maybe 3 months, and even then i think i was starting the DHA 500. It's only recently that i boosted my regimen from 2 pills a day to 5-8 pills daily.

Well I read from doctor Oz ( you know that Doctor on Tv that we should at least be getting at least 600mg of DHA from the fish oil. Here is the link for far better information than i am presenting. The article is a basic introductory to omega 3 fish oil and it is insightful at the very least since it's from a well known respected authority in medical science.

So why did i venture on taking 2500 mg of DHA ...really out of desperation. I looked up at what high doses of OMega 3 do when prescribed for illnesses and found out that they usually ranged from 2-4 grams of Omega three fatty acids per day. Doctor oz's article said that Omega 3 combats acne so i took his word for it and he said the biggest problem is that we dont take enough and well and behold there i was taking 8 softgels a day. Although i do think i was over dooing it a bit. I have found out that 5 is the magic number for me. And i truely believe that this stuff is working , it has not cleared up my acne completely but i feel i have reduced my acne lesions for about 80% now within the last few weeks. OMega 3 is no joke when you take plenty and a lot of it.


I must warn you though that i have been....and This is a GROSS Alert So DONT READ THE FOLLOWING if you are GRossed OUT easily..




But when Sometimes i go to the Bathroom i have noticed an orange oil like substance coming from my stool. I believe that might be the extra fish oil i don't use or store, but anyways im not a doctor. I read that this is normal for people who eat a lot of fish, so i dont take it as a very bad side-effect, i just wanted to make clear that these things are the things that i had to look out for when i have been on this regimen.
