Have used both, currently use fish oil supplement because it is cheaper. I believe it helps me. The thing to keep in mind is that is it a FAT and you need to take fat out of your diet to make room for the supplement. the bottles will generally have serving sizes on them.

i take 1000 mg fish oil, and 500 mg evening prime rose, daily, i read it takes good wks to months to take effect........ i know with the primrose, i sleep better........ so who knows, but even if I think its working i'll stay with it........ this leads into a whole other subject..... most dr. frown upon herbal or supplemental........ I DONT
if it wont hurt you, its worth a try.......
