Flax seed oil is the same thing and is available at any drug store :) ============ Quoting from swift2494: I've been hearing lots of talk regarding fish oil.

	2006/12/20, 10:27 PM flax seed oil is not the same thing as fish oil....google.com for the difference.... fish oil has myriad of benefits....feel free to use google.com or any other search engine or search engine here... flax is something u can take on the side...

This is not so easily done in some folks, such as diabetics and the older you get. The chain length is the problem here. -------------- Maximus from Gladiator....Strength and Honor!
