Please forgive me if this is an ignorant question, I'm new to all of this.
After reading several articles on the benefits of fish oil for heart health (I have blood pressure issues at 32 years old and heart disease is rampant in my family) amoung countless other benefits, I decided to give it a try. I picked up 2 bottles at the grocery store over the weekend (Sundance Naturals). They say they do NOT contain mercury which was obviously important to me since I am BFing. I was talking to a friend yesterday who said that the capsules were overly processed and didn't really work that great and may have some other pesky stuff in it... and that I should take pure liquid fish oil. What do you think about this? Does he know what he's talking about?
I must say I am already feeling better since taking these for just 2 1/2 days. My BP has gone down a bit, I feel more alert and my mind feels clear (which for the 3-4 hours of sleep I'm getting a night is a Godsend).
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Be gentle, I'm a newbie.
