One more thing I learned about fish oil is that it's a blood thinner. My mom learned this the hard way when she ended up in ER for a bloody nose that literally came out of nowhere; Mom never had a bloody nose that anyone could remember. When asked whether she took vitamins or supplements, and she mentioned her fish oil capsules, the ER physician told her to stop taking them.
Just a word of caution, and as Dr. Susan mentioned way up above - there are those who cannot take fish oil, for whatever reason.
