I'm 17 years old.... I pitch in baseball.... During the baseball season I was taking fish oil for tendonitis and during that time I noticed my skin and complexion to really improve and look a lot clearer. I have done some reading on the internet and i'm thinking of taking fish oil on a regular basis. What do you think of this? I'm also thinking of taking a b50 complex for b vitamins which are also good for the mind and the skin. Then maybe taking 400IU of vitamin E and also take some vitamin C also. Will that benefit my health and everything or could taking these hurt me in the long run?
What if I took Fish Oil for a long time for now on? Would it hurt me? What benefits do you think it may have for my skin and for my general health?
I've never really taken a vitamin b complex but as far as Fish Oil it really is great for my skin and I feel a lot better during the day....
I really think Fish Oil is amazing to say the least so far.... Thanks For Your Time....

Anytime you add a vitamin or supplement you should talk to a doctor or pharmacist

I started taking fish oil in HS. I heard somewhere (can't remember where) that it was good for acne.
It was AWESOME for acne!
I still take it, and I've been out of HS for a gazillion years. I continue to take it because I think it makes my skin look better - even though I no longer suffer from acne.

All the things you mention taking are good for you in proper amounts. If mercury in fish oil concerns you, you can switch to flax seed oil, true. I don't take the fish oil simply because it generally makes me burp, very unpleasant tasting!
The flax oil does make a tremendous difference in my skin as well. It's good stuff!:jester:

Are you taking the fish oil without food? If so, that's why you're burping. And you're right..it's GROSS.
In all honesty, you're supposed to take vitamins with food. Vitamins are not meant to be absorbed from the belly to the blood stream.
They're absorbed via our food in the intestine. That's why it's more effective to take them with food.

Yes, you can take fish oil for life. Our ancestors had a diet rich with fish oil. But most modern day people seldom eat fish. Studies have shown fish oil improves mood, lowers triglycerides, improves arthritis, among other things.
But remember that more is not always better, so don't over do it. Do some research before deciding if it's right for you and how much you should take.
If you have a bleeding disorder, are on blood-thinners, or have high blood pressure that is not being treated, you should not take them at all.

My husband was prescribed fish oil tablets by his heart doctor, he has had a triple bypass. He puts the fish oil tablets in the freezer and takes them from there, it helps with the nasty burping.:)
