In reply to Fish Oil for depression - How long waiting period?, posted by SLS on December 11, 2004, at 10:51:17
I don't have any info on how long it takes before improvement is noticed, but I thought I would share the following (which I also posted in the thread below).
Just for information, I had read that it is important that EPA and DHA (fish oil) supplements include Vitamin E to prevent rancidity, and that supplements be taken with extra vitamin E supplements to prevent oxidation in the body. I further read that some of the conflicting studies using fish oil may be due to the fact that, in some cases, the supplements did not contain any vitamin E to protect them. Apparently, study results have been superior when EPA has been consumed with a vitamin E supplement.
