> Hi Ed,
> I have replied to your postings before, because I am a long time user of GNC Salmon oil. I am considering taking more than the one capsule per day for help with my OCD and bipolar disorder. I am a little concerned about the facila neuralgia problem reported by a few posters to this site. I also am considering a switch to the TwinLabs formulation. I know you prefer the Eskimo 3, but I am not a diabetic, and have been fine with the Salmon oil. You will see why I might switch from the information that follows. What is your opinion?

> I saw an analysis of this product recently and the quality seems good.I tend to favor Eskimo-3 because there is so much research published on it and it has better results in physical illness than any of the others I am aware of.Another one Omegabrite looks pretty good for psychiatric problems but again little has been published on it.
Let us know how how you get on with a higher dose.1g of omega-3 is sometimes useful in depression but mostly you are talking about 5g,even 10 g for major problems.You can always go up slowly of course and stop when you get relief but it is often better to start around 5g and move on from there,either up or down.
