Well, I started the Eskimo-3 fish oil yesterday. I'm using the liquid form, since it's easier and faster to get to higher dosages that way and less expensive.
I'm going to follow your earlier post re dosage, Ed. I've taken 5 ml/twice thus far today and will work up to four or five of those per day until I can tell if it's making any difference. If it isn't, I still plan to use it for cardiac health. (5 ml/day)
I must tell you, it tastes absolutely horrible of course. You probably knew that (or if you didn't know it from personal experience, you probably suspected it.) Actually, the odor is worse than the taste.
I tried mixing it in juice, but quite frankly, it just makes the juice taste bad and ergo prolongs the agony... So I'm taking it straight off the spoon.
Yum.

> Omega-3 has a stabilising effect on heart rhythm which is the reason it reduces the death rates shortly after heart attacks,the time when most deaths occur.It has been shown that three capsules of natural fish oil (Eskimo-3) daily reduces the whole mortality and the mortality from heart disease by 29% over 2 years in men who have a history of a heart attack.Omega-3 though should not be taken without a physician`s approval if a person is on any medication designed to thin the blood such as warfarin.
