COMMUNITY SENTIMENT

72% positive

anecdotal but fish oil supplementation (pretty high dose) did more for my mental health than anything else I've tried as a single intervention

U/STAMFORD_SYD

dose and brand really matter. i took huge doses from a very well regarded brand when i was younger and i could absolutely feel the impact it had on my fatigue and memory

U/OG_TOE

Idk if it’s 100% the fish oil but my triglycerides have come down quite a lot and one of my changes was taking fish oil

COMMENTS

Add context that might help others — skin type, conditions like PCOS, what you'd tried before. The more specific, the more useful.
