As Mrsd explained, fish oil is initially very irritating to the stomach lining if your body has been deficient in the omega3 oils. After a week or two, the omega3 oils in the fish oil actually help the stomach to heal, so that your stomach no longer gets so easily upset. Less obviously, it also helps your body heal and deal with stress better.
We recently put down the last of our three large dogs at 16 years old. Like the two 17 yr. olds before her, she was active until a week before the end, and her coat looked great. We gave all the dogs
one fish oil capsule in the A.M. and one in the P.M., along with glucosamine - condroytin - msm, and walked them for miles every day (ignoring my PN pain). They lived a long long time in almost perfect health until the very end.
Most of us on this board aren't as hairy as the dogs were, but would probably respond in a similar manner to a similar regimen.
