> For me, it depends on the brand. For months I took Trader Joe's brand, which is recommended by Andrew Stoll, M.D. I saw no improvement -- ever. Earlier this summer I started using Twinlab's MegaTwin EPA, and I noticed subtle improvements in mood within a couple of days and a marked improvement in physical symptoms such as joint pains within a week or so. Recently I ran out of the Twinlab brand, and when I couldn't find it in the store, I bought Nordic something-or-other to replace it. I don't like the way I feel on it at all, and I regret having spent all that money on it. I will continue to try to find the Twinlab MegaTwin EPA.

Anecdotal evidence like this is fascinating to me. It indicates that the content of the fish oils can vary dramatically, notwithstanding what is said on the labels. I know that a major proportion of all the North American brands comes from a single contract manufacturer in Nova Scotia. Nordic is European. Brand *shouldn't* matter, if the label constituents are the same.
