Is it true omega fish oil is good for joint pains? if so how much should be taken for acute pain?

Hello. : Hello. Fish oil has been shown in some studies to reduce joint stiffness and sometimes joint tenderness as well. For arthritis is recommended that you use fish oil that contains 30% or more epa/dha at a dose of approximately 1.6 grams of epa twice a day. However, as with all medications, supplements or herbals, it is recommended that you discuss this with your doctor before you start using it.

Hype : Krill oil and fish oil are the new snake oil, both are high in omega 3 fatty acids which are extremely fragile. Omega 3 fish oils reduce triglycerides by impairing the liver's ablility to make them. However the oxidative stress caused by fish oil actually raises LDL cholesterol. Some day we may use the phrase "this is just more fish /krill oil" or "here comes the fish/krill oil salesman".
