i have never really been a fan of taking prescription medications, srsly i usually cave when i've been fighting something for a long time and can't seem to kick it on my own. or, if whatever i'm experiencing gives me pain of some sort or, if my doctor says it's the only way to cure something...blah blah blah
vitamins do not always require a prescription, i'm not really sure in what case they do it was recommended by my general practitioner, that i start taking fish oils i asked her if there were any side effects and she said, "make sure you get a good brand, or they might give you 'fish burps'." what?! ewwww! seafood makes me gag!
so, she said there was a brand she could prescribe for me, that doesn't have that side effect
and that is why i take Lovaza (pictured above)
next to the bottle of Lovaza, is a bottle of Vitamin D3 1000mg supplements i take 2 of those daily (same with Lovaza) look at the difference in the size of these pills. i have to point out that the Lovaza pills are not a standard size they are literally 1 inch long and the Vitamin D3's are literally 1/4 inch long
it's amazing that the potency of 1000 IU can fit into that tiny little capsule where I stand now: taking these 2 vitamins 2x's daily been feeling very weak and fatigued (extremely, actually) hoping that the Vitamin D supplement helps :-)
we will see

I take fish oil for it's many benefits, evening primrose oil for my skin, calcium/magnesium/C/D/E mostly for my nails. Most women should probably take calcium. I don't know any woman over 50 that doesn't have bone density issues.
I don't have to worry about fish burps 'cause I don't burp. It's a lot more unpleasant than it sounds.
