All fish oil are good, just make sure you check the source of the fish oil (I ever see a brand fish oil that state the source of it is "sea creature"). But the best one is from the deep sea fish or fish that live in cold places, such as salmon. Such fish oil is a good source of omega 3. If possible, choose fish oil with d-alpha tocopherol (natural vit e) as it will act as antioxidant and prevent the fish oil to loss it potency. However, do take note that ppl who are consuming high blood pressure medication should ask for doctor advice before they start taking fish oil as fish oil is a natural type of blood thinner.
P.S you may add "COq10 with taurine" for the heart health also.

Yes. Odd my Aunt was a Nurse in the UK and always took cod liver oil until she retired. Then the problems started and last year was in Hospital. When she came out they prescribed fish oils for her, on prescription free of charge. I did once ask her why she gave up taking the cod liver oil, answer 'My hair was thinning after the menopause, so I took it until I retired and my hair was nice a thick, did not think I needed it anymore. Here once you have your first heart attack they prescribe omega 3, free of charge, called preventative medicine. Side effects when you first start taking them you will have loose foul smelling stools, but that goes after a week.

Yes, I take cod liver oil, not just for my heart, but it helps bones, eyes, and even your hair. It is very good for you and will do you no harm. Remember if you take it, it stinks, unless you buy the capsules.

Yes I do can't say they help, but they sure can't hurt. Soft or hard caps no difference.

get the better brand so that you don't burp. I get mine at the health food store- they can suggest which does not cause burping- or get Amway's brand- they are good.
