I take fish oil supplements daily. Or every other day. It's a supplement so I'm not too strict on taking it everyday. The bottle recommends 2x a day with meals, but I only take it once a day. There are no bad side effects. The good side effects are more frequent bowel movements. And more pleasant bowel movements -- no straining or pain. This is the main reason I take the fish oil since it appears that the other medications I'm taking are making my stools hard. This medication can also help cholesterol, and though I have been taking it for a couple months now, I haven't noticed an improvement. I do not have bad cholesterol or anything by any means, but sometimes my bad cholesterol is SLIGHTLY elevated, and my good cholesterol is slightly lower... but it didn't seem to change that. I might have to take it 2x a day as suggested and check then, but I think it would cause me to have a bowel movement too often (in one day) so it's not something I'm sure I'll due.
