Omega 3 fatty acids (fish oil) A natural Benzo!

[chop]

Well you need up to 2000mg of EPA as a mood stabiliser (help depresion and anxiety), so up to 11 tabs a day Giddy

Not trying to scare you. One tab a day will help overall health anyway but for a mood stabiliser, its much higher dose but once again everyone is different.

Even for arthritus they use up to 12 tabs a day. One a day will help overall health anyway though but if you want full benefit, take more

Remember though, its a natural thing and like eating fish so it is not going to harm most people. no side effects noticed in people in studies I have read.

look at it this way, how much oil do you think is in an oily fish? You are supposed to eat oily fish a few times a week. there is a fair amount of oil in a few pieces of oily fish a week So you are not taking much at all, even at 3 per day (thats only 3 grams of oil from fish etc)

I want to try this but I can't swallow pills :(

[giddy]

I can't swallow pills either - I have to eat some food and then shove the fish oil pill in just before I swallow!!

right you lot i want to join in what you are doing. right so over here we have " eyeq" fish oils but i do eat ioly fish at least once a week adn yogart with omega 3 every morning.

what will i start on as my anxiety is beyond control but i hate meds

jackie

soo informative this, cheers

To do any real good for bad anxiety I found you must take a high dose (as with all the studies).
I take up to 12 pills a day (12000mg).

Start with 2 x 1000mg tabs 2-3 times a day I think if you can.

P.S. This is not a MED as such just pure fish oil (natural)

make sure you get decent but not necessarily the dear stuff. Pharmacy grade or mercury and pesticide tested ones. I get the cheapest and it is actually the best.

Mine has 180 EPA and 120 DPA in it.

Thats what you want approx in each tab. Also if you can find one with a little vitamin E in it, thats good too if your taking high doses.

P.S. People with arthritus take this much and sometimes more per day.
Small doese will help overall health, large doses help all sorts of things and its natural.

Even if you have to take one per day instead, thats still good for you overall.

Chop
