Cod liver oil

[mr brightside]

I take this every day for the joints but i've just read on here that they can contain amounts of toxins...any comments or alternatives? my nan swears by this stuff!

The air you breathe can contain toxins! Anything more specific?

Don't worry about it. The benefits probably outweigh the risks.

Consider a drop of extra virgin olive oil each day, a little more natural than capsules.

Olive oil doesn't have any benefits for the joints does it?

This was the original post:

I take Glucosamine on the grounds it might help but I don't think it has any harmful effects. I avoid Cod liver Oil as it can concentrate toxins as its obtained from the liver. I eat Mackerel as a substitute as I like the taste and it has the usual oily fish benefits.

How about Flax Seed Oil which contains Omega 3, 6 & 9 oils?

Please can I say NO NO NO and just incase you don't get the message NO

Please read the small print when using Flax seed or (Hemp seed)

Although there can be benefits to the heart it can cause heart iregularities. With in 5 days of taking these tablets i was very ill for week with regular severe heart palpatations and it took nearly a month before all the systoms went. I'm sure they are ok for the majority but I wouldn't wish that week on any one.
