Members shared their experiences using fish oil supplements to help manage rheumatoid arthritis, with many taking it daily in various forms including standard fish oil, cod liver oil, krill oil, and Mega Red omega-3, though some acknowledged uncertainty about whether it truly helps their RA symptoms. Several members highlighted practical benefits beyond joint health, including lower triglycerides and cholesterol, with dosages ranging from two to four capsules daily and popular brands mentioned including Nordic Naturals and Costco's Kirkland. A recurring theme was the important caution that fish oil acts as a blood thinner, so members on blood thinning medications were advised by their doctors to avoid it due to increased bleeding risk.
