Members shared their experiences with fish oil and omega supplements for managing RA inflammation, with many taking fish oil daily alongside turmeric and evening primrose oil, though dosages varied from two to three capsules per day. Several members emphasized the importance of sourcing quality supplements, noting that some over-the-counter fish oils can be rancid or contaminated, and one member recommended Lovaza, a prescription-grade fish oil with a more stable concentration and fewer side effects. A recurring theme was consulting with doctors or pharmacists before starting supplements to ensure proper dosing and safety.

I use lavaza it's a persciption. The fish oil is a more stable concentration than OTC. Plus the fishy burps are minimal.

I take 2 fish oil per day, 2 500 mg tumeric with meriva as it helps it work, for inflammation a day. Make your sure your fish oil is from a good source and free from contaminants.

Be careful where the oil originates. A CBC expose on fish oil supplements found that to get the amount we needed to do any good is toxic. That plus 100% of the oil supplements found on Canadian shelves were rancid as it doesn't keep well at all.

Susanward6 I just realized I spelled the name of the persciption fish oil wrong. It's lovaza. Sorry about the confusion
