Fish Oil

[Milk]

<p>Any of you guys take Fish Oil Supplements?<br><br>
I currently take this one <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.greenpasture.org/public/Products/ButterCodLiverBlend/index.cfm'>http://www.greenpasture.org/public/Products/ButterCodLiverBlend/index.cfm</a> (the capsules) but am looking to change it up.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The gym pushes this one <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.purepharma.com/us_en/products/purepharma-3.html'>http://www.purepharma.com/us_en/products/purepharma-3.html</a> which also has magnesium and vitamin D. Apparently magnesium is underrated as a supplement. However, they are also pretty cheap (unlike this supplement combo).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Any thoughts?</p>

I take fish oil but it's just a run of the mill omega 3, <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.gohealthynz.co.nz/ourproducts/?cat=10&id=216'>http://www.gohealthynz.co.nz/ourproducts/?cat=10&id=216</a><br><br>
Also take a multi each day which has some magnesium and vitamin d in it. I see it as a nice to have and for the price I can't see why not to use etc.

<p>Did you do much research before settling on that? Soo many choices out there...</p>

To be honest no I didn't.<br><br>
Was just in the chemist by work and saw then cheap. Bought and used. They are ok though and have decent amount of EPA. I usually have a couple of serves of 2 to 3 capsules per day

Magnesium is great. I take it at night for relaxation of mind and body. We put our son onto EyeQ fish oil supplements and it's really helped his mental focus. Got him on B2 as well which we are trialling for his migraines

<p>I've been finding that some fish oil supplements promote its benefits for mental focus, while others promote the benefits for the joints. Do different supplements do different things?</p>

I think I depends on which omega they're promoting - 3, 9, etc. I have no idea which is which :)<br /><br />

Swanson Premium Triple Boron Complex 3 mg 250 Caps - Swanson®

Has anyone heard of supplementing BORON/borax, here is an article.
http://www.cytoluminator.com/cancer-photodynamic-therapy/httpwww.health-science-spirit.com borax.pdf

Firstly dissolve a lightly rounded teaspoonful (5-6 grams) of borax in 1 litre of good quality water. This is your concentrated solution, keep it out of reach of small children.
Standard dose = 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of concentrate. This has 25 to 30 mg of borax and provides about 3 mg of boron. Take 1 dose per day mixed with drink or food. If that feels right then take a second dose with another meal. If there is no specific health problem or for maintenance you may continue indefinitely with 1 or 2 doses daily. If you do have a problem, such as arthritis, osteoporosis and related conditions, cramps or spasms, stiffness due to advancing years, menopause, and also to improve low sex hormone production, increase intake to 3 or more spaced-out standard doses for several months or longer until you feel that your problem has sufficiently improved. Then drop back to 1 or 2 doses per day

this is a low dose compared to many studies which use much much higher doses to indicate reproductive harm
