Hi Angie,

I had a definite improvement in my osteoarthritis when I began taking fish oil capsules. I had been told that fish oil was of more use with RA than OA, so had never bothered before.

I actually began taking it (after reading Protein Power) more for its value in reducing cholesterol, so was pleasantly surprised to find some relief for my joints. I still have some soreness form time to time, but am fairly sure things would be much worse without the combination of low carbing and the fish oil.

BTW for anyone thinking of taking fish oil capsules, do take the enteric coated ones, to avoid the icky "fishy" burps!
