Ed and others interested in Eskimo-3,
From the Phytopharmica site, I found that a small pharmacy near me carries their products, so if Eskimo-3 isn't on their shelf, they can certainly get it for me. I was surprised that there isn't a direct order option on the Phytophamica web site.
I'm wondering if I should take the liquid rather the capsule form. If, as you state on your web page the Eskimo-3 capsules contains "perhaps 180 mg EPA" then it would take dozens of capsules to get where I think I want to go.
Would you mind sharing your thoughts on form (liquide vs. capsule Eskimo-3) as it relates to dosage? I'm thinking that I'll start with 2 grams/day. In terms of EPA vs. DHA, etc., how many capsules or how many ml will that require? I'm going to use Eskimo-3 for mental as well as cardio health issues. I'm not thinking that fish oil is going to replace my latest antidepressant cocktail, but after ten years of mediocre-to-lousy performance from dozens of them, it sure can't hurt to put something natural and heart-healthy into the mix.
With thanks,
