Fish Oil

I've been taking up to 4 capsules of two types of fish oil daily for the past two weeks, along with multivitamins. I mainly got it to improve my mood and reduce my weight loss "recovering anorexia" it gives me so much energy and much better concentration.

My acne has cleared up and my skin appears to be much smoother. My advice to those who had bad reactions is eat an avocado once a day then, ull get the benefits of the omega 3 fatty acid. Also apply tea tree oil, its said that its just as effective as benzoyl peroxide but safer of course. Ive been using tea tree oil for a while now and my skin has never felt more smooth and looked more clear, it also reduced any redness i had. just apply 2-3 drops onto your skin and apply with either jojoba oil with avocado oil or either or so your skin wont dry out so much, the tea tree oil absorbs deep within your skin it will feel so fresh within minutes. Also drink lemon water, it will clear your acne right up. For a face mask use a raw potato, it will help brighten your skin, clear your acne scars and whatever pimples you have within days or less.:)

After doing a bit of research and comparisons on the market of fish oil, I decided to go with a moderately priced but vegan option of omega3's and 6's. It's NutraVege and it is an omega 3&6 supplement that is derived from plant base life. Not gonna go into details, but basically you're just taking in what fishes eat (sea plant life...etc. but they eat a lot of it and produces fatty acids). Considering that if I were to take fish oils for an extended period of time as well as at a higher dosage, I figure that it is worth while to invest in a vegan option which may potentially cut out the risk of accumulating nasty chemicals from fishes. I also wanted to do away with the gel-caps so I opted for the oil. It tastes nasty and naturally, feels like downing a spoon full of oil. But it has definitely improve my skin texture, glow and reduce redness. I've been taking this in the evening either before or after meal. Oh yeah, and I do burp with that nasty taste, but it beats having bad skin. I actually took only half the recommended dosage. But it works for me.

I was looking through the reviews on fish oil on this site and I gave the product a try. I bought a big jar of fish oil which contains 350 softgels for about 10 bucks at Sam's club. My skin has gotten soft and smooth. My skin color also appears to be healthy. I jog fairly often, but now I am able to jog longer than before since taking the product. More importantly, my acne seems to have lessen. I still get a few break outs, but they aren't as bad as before. I get pimples like nodule which usually appears in different sections of my face. They have shrunken considerably. I recommend trying this product!!!

After taking fish oil supplements regularly for six months now, I can say I believe it has helped control my acne. I started taking them around the same time I started using the acne.org benzoyl peroxide treatment, which helped my skin a lot, so I wasn't sure if the fish oil was aiding in any way. Now when I sometimes miss taking my fish oil for a day or two, a few pimples appear. Then, as soon as I resume taking fish oil, they go away. I have alternated with the brands since I began taking fish oil and I haven't noticed if one is better than the other. Right now I am taking the Nature Made brand. The only major drawback for fish oil for me is that I believe it has made my bowel movements irregular. I never had a problem with constipation until I started taking fish oil. But, I haven't stopped taking it longer than a day or two to see if fish oil really is the problem. Instead, I resulted to taking fiber supplements to help with this.

I use the brand from Walmart that's a mixture of Fish, Flax, and Borage fatty oils.

Ok, so I have moderate-moderately severe acne and not a very good complexion. I actually didn't start taking fish oil for anything like that, I just started taking it as a supplement myself since I figured it couldn't hurt and i was already taking a cleanse so it couldn't hurt.The kind I've been taking doesn't make you burp so you don't have to worry about the taste or random gross burps. Its been around a week maybe, and I noticed my complexion looking quite nice the last couple days and the one day I skipped taking it my complexion went back to looking not so great. Also, along with that I seem to be in a better mood and just feel better. So while it hasn't cleared my acne its made my skin overall better so I suggest just trying it.

I've been taking 2 a day 1000mg (300mg of Omega-3) Kirkland concentrated Fish Oil for about a week now, and will update my review probably after a month or two just to make sure any progress or lack of progress isn't being changed by hormones. First off I was very wary about taking these after seeing people complaining about cysts and getting MORE acne, not to mention the flavor. I have NOT had any increase in acne or size of acne. I have not had a decrease either, though old redspots seem to be lighter. My skin does seem a bit softer (as a week ago it was insanely dry from winter weather.) I have also not had any 'fish burps', this may be because I freeze mine and take the morning pill with a meal. I'll keep taking the pills, if no other reason than because the omega 3 and fish oil are both good for your health. Like I said, I haven't seen a huge change in my face, but it's only been a week. I have been trying to get my mother to take them aswell because fish oil is recommended to those with high cholestrol. Since some people HAVE had problems with fish oil I would still urge caution and not just say 'this worked for me, therefore it must work for everyone.' But for me, personally, there hasnt been a down side. (Also, as far a pill size go, if you have issues with swallowing pills, it may be hard as the pills ARE very large. I tend to pop 4 large pills at a time though, so it wasn't an issue for me. Gel capsules in general are made to be easier going down. (I received my fish oil pills from a family member, so I'm not sure about the price, so I'm going off of costco's website. anywhere else they sell for far more.

when I hurd about this stuff I decided id give it a shot and so I started low and didnt notice a difference, but when I upped it to 10 pills a day I broke out like crazy around my mouth and other places. I latter found out that fish oil with oleic acid and lenoleic acid should be avoided because they cause breakouts. sure enuf, when I checked the bottle one of the non medical ingredients was oleic acid, so that is likely why I broke out so bad, and probably why there are so many people on this forum talking about bad experiences with fish oil. CHECK THE LABEL, MAKE SURE THERE IS NO OLEIC/LENOLIC ACID. it will break you out! I have now switched to different pills and they are working great, so be sure to read your label closely.

I'm rating this based on what I've heard, not my own experience because I have only been taking these for a week. The reason why I'm posting, is to let readers know that I read some interesting things on several web pages on Fish Oil. I read that if not capsuled with an antioxidant, such as Vitamin E, the pills can become rancid, and in a shorter period of time than you might think! They should at the very least be made with d-alpha Tocopherol which although less effective (and less expensive) should prevent the pills from becoming rancid. I suggest spending a bit more in order to ensure protection from rancid oil. Just a warning, because it sounds fishy lol. Just be sure they are also purified, and contain deep sea fish, or have the fish specified. Also, Fish oil just makes sense to me because products that reduce inflammation in the skin are generally good for acne. Many acne sufferers are prescribed anit-biotics, which work to reduce inflammation, so this makes sense. I paid ten dollars on GNC softcaps 300mg per capsule.
