Advice & Tips
Outside of taking this to raise my HDL, the side benefit is that my skin (which had been dry) became soft after about 6 weeks. But I have to take it before a "FULL" meal - or it repeats. (I take a capsule that also has lemon oil in it so that helps)

Advice & Tips
There seems to be contradicting reports on whether dha or epa is better for treating mood and exact proportions. It would be nice to have a formulary to go by other than what each different company wants to market to you.
