where to buy omega 3's  

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
hi i'm interested in supplementing with omega 3's for ppd. i read a therapeutic dose is 4000mg. most supplements i'm looking at have only 1000mg and also contain vitamin E.

i was thinking about buying from vitamin shoppe b/c they have nordic naturals omega-3 and also some sodium abscorbate which we need.

what do you think?

also i read about the mood cure. i mean, can someone tell more about it and how it helps?

i am getting an appointment for counseling, but in the meantime i want to place an order.

i've been searching the forum to get the answers to these questions but i'm feeling overwhelmed. if someone has the time to answer these questions even if they are redundant that would be great. i took the quiz and i'm a 36, but i just don't feel myself and i've given it lots of time. thanks for listening.

Omega 3's

I've had good success with Spectrum Fish Oil. There is 0.8g/serving so 800mg. Also, I researched a lot and this company doesn't have any PCB's, mercury, lead, or dioxins in their products. It is also 3rd party purity tested. If you want to find out more info a good source would be from mercola.com. If you haven't found it already Good luck to you!!

I take Nordic Naturals. I buy the 16 oz bottle of oil because it's the best value but they have a new capsule product called something like "EPA extra" which would be the best deal for this high dose. Typically, the vitamin E levels are pretty low. Some cod liver oils have high A and D content but Nordic Naturals doesn't (unless you buy their extra D product). Depression and Omega 3 fatty acids.
