Temporary effect of omega-3

[justbob]

I'm taking an enteric omega-3 supplement 3 times a day (with each meal), feels like I get an improvment after a few hours, then it wears off after a few more hours (much quicker effect if it's non-enteric). Does anyone else get this problem?

I don't get any effect at all. Seems to me a solution for you is to combine the enteric with the non-enteric, and repeat the dosage as required.

I've felt such a big difference since I changed to a higher dose fish oil about a month ago, I notice too I seem to get a extra boost about an hour after I've taken them, I thought it might be as I always take them with food and eating gets the salivary glands working which in turn effect the mouth then eyes? Just an idea though.

Omega 3 levels take a while to build up in the body. You can have your essential fatty acid levels tested to see if the fish oil is having the desired effect. A naturopath/nutritionist can do this.

I was taking a good quality/high dose fish oil for years and my levels were still low. I was low in all fatty acids, 3, 6 and 9. Only after I started detoxing heavy metals did my EFA (essential fatty acid) levels normalise. If the cell is toxic it can't utilise the omega 3.

My eyes are 90% healed now.
