A Stanford trained Psychiatrist that I saw in Ca. actually prescribed Nordic Naturals specifically. This was years ago before fish oil was popular and other brands weren't regulated. I now go with Swanson's because they have a high standard and they are more affordable. Also note that the recommended amount for MI is much higher than what is on the labels for standard well being. My MD recommended up to 9 gm's., that's a lot, and people need to work their way up to that. Another poster here pointed out it does thin the blood and it's important that all your healthcare providers know you take it.

Genetic I so appreciate your knowledge._ Do you know what amounts niacin (vit.b3) are recommended for MI? I have resources that only recommend niacin, but not the amount specifically. thanks!

Christina: sorry I hijacked your thread with another q. for Genetic.
