I take 6,000mg of fish oil capsules a day. It has done away with most all of my postworkout soreness, lower back pain and most important, tingling in my feet from my job (nurse aide). The days I have nursing school clinicals AND my job are rough on my feet.
I’ve used it for several years now. And put my youngest d-i-l on the “rescue me too” product when she was expecting with my 4th grandson. My doctor is pleased and so is his.

I’ve done some research on Omega-3 within the past year, and one source told me sockeye salmon has more omega-3 than any other type of fish (not sure about the mercury content, though. I suppose that varies). If fish is the source, however, deep-water fish (Halibut, salmon, tuna, etc) has significantly higher omega-3 levels than shallow water fish (cod, snapper, perch, etc).
Two years ago I suggested to a friend of mine that she suggest to her near 40 yr old DIL that she take cod liver oil during her pregnancy with twins.....I’m sure she didn’t. She and her husband now have a developmentally disabled son (cognitive and motor skills delayed), while the daughter seems to be doing okay....sad. Don’t know if the Cod Liver Oil would have helped....but maybe?
BTW here is my source on the amount of Omega-3 per type of fish. It contains a large table listing almost every type of fish and the corresponding Omega-3 content.

I find a nice sandwich of King Oscar Brisling Sardines a very painless way to get 3 or so grams of Omega 3s in my diet. I feed my kids a packet of this a day:
It goes down painlessly. They even complain if I forget to give it to them :D
