Hi,

What fish oil supplement should I take with a typical controlled Malaysian diet, controlled in the sense where the usual common unhealthy junk (such as packed snacks, carbonated drinks, high cholesterol foods like squid) is avoided to help with a very healthy lifestyle?

There seem to be several that I came across, but:
> they are to be taken with Western diet
> possibility of available of Mecury, etc.

Please advise.

Yes, fish supplements are expensive, and thanks, but what about the lead, mercury, etc. content?


Why liquid over tablets? Aren't tablets more convenient?


From Nordic Naturals, what would you recommend?

For Omega-3 content per consumption, the more the better (for example Nordic Naturals 1280mg > 690mg), or...?

Thanks for informing, nauticat99! I quickly stopped the one who started taking it a few days ago right after reading what you said and double-checking your point. You're a lifesaver!

I've been taking iHerb Nordic Naturals, Omega-3, Lemon, 1000 mg, 180 Soft Gels for months now, seems to be working well but it took some time for my body to adjust.

For my case, since I have brain illness (encephalitis), the differences for me were:
Initially, feel sleepy after taking but after around I think 2 weeks plus-minus, no longer sleepy after taking.
As for improvements, my cognitive process, as well as body functions, improved; but they took a while, understandably.

Hope that helps, and on a different note, Kimi Räikkönen was my favourite F1 racer.

You're welcome. Wish you the best~
I'm taking that with multivitamins and Magnesium (Blackmore) as recommended by 2 doctors daily, have stopped medication nearly 12 weeks now!

There is none now, I haven't watched F1 in years.
Was surprised when someone told me around 2 months back that he quit.

Pjuan2013 thanks for the explanation. Also, your article was indeed an interesting enlightening read, will be using that as a reference; thanks for sharing.
