Fish oil

[pegkerr]

For a variety of reasons, it seems that adding fish oil to my family's diet would be a Good Idea (some of us have elevated triglycerides, some have depression, some are prone to eczema, and it would be protective for me for breast cancer, too). Since half of the family adamantly refuses to eat fish, I'm interested into fish oil capsules. What should we look for in choosing fish oil capsules--are there any industry standards we should look for, to avoid mercury or PCB contamination, etc? Any advice for finding it, in non-contaminated form, reasonably priced? Are you taking fish oil? Has it helped you?

I don't know if you have a Trader Joe's nearby, but I love their odorless fish oil caplets. They are large, but produce minimal burps.

I'm not sure how your girls will take them, and I am now wanting to find a more kid-friendly fish oil supplement because my daughter's eczema has flared. I'll be watching here for any good suggestions.

You know I did see some gummie ones for kids. Both at Target and the Wedge.
