In reply to Side effects from fish oil?, posted by April8 on March 16, 2006, at 14:14:07
I've just started a fish oil regimen (approx 1g EPA, 700mg DHA in the morning), and found it to cause insomnia--which is too bad, because otherwise it really seems to help.
Does anyone know what the half-lives of DHA and EPA are? Does the dose build up in your blood (or fatty tissue) over a period of days or weeks?
There was some talk that DHA is metabolised faster, so I am trying to figure out if, say, switching to a DHA-heavy supplement might help the insomnia, or if there is some other solution?
PS
I take it with green tea, or green tea extract, which seems to add to the positive effect on mood and concentration.
