To All - I have recently read that the active ingredient for relief of bipolar disorder symptom, the omega-3-fatty acid are in very low concentrations in commercially available fish oil preparations. One has to take very high doses, resulting in much G.I. upset and a noticeable "fishy" odor exuding from the skin. I will concede that omega-3-fatty acids may relieve some of the symptoms of bipolar disorder, but I would like to see a few well designed studies to prove this. The studies I have read to date have had some serious methodological problems. Waiting with bated breath - Cam W.
