Omega 3 fatty acid supplements?

[fatin]

hi Everyone

just wondering what are omega 3 fatty acids good for? i heard they help in cleaing skin and also glowing complexion. Anyone taking them here and how have they helped you?

I dont know about how good they are for your skin, persay, but I know they are good for you in general. My "how to eat healthier" type book tells me to eat foods with them in there. I havn't noticed any real difference in my skin, but then I'm not taking a supplement with them...I'm just eating foods heavy in them (as well as other nutrients) everyday.

Sorry I can't be more help!

I take them everyday. They're really good for circulatory health. I'm sorry but I haven't seen any change in my skin or hair from taking them.

I take 30 mil. of omega 3 dietary supplements daily.Supposedly they lessen depression, make the circulation better--and the skin look better--and support cardiac health, among other things. I don't take a huge amount though, so I can't say I've had overwhelming results.

I take two omega 3 soft gel capsules daily. They help "lubricate" joints, help with memory and moods, are very heart healthy, and make skin and hair look better.

I have had a few complements on my facial skin but I still have breakouts.

It depends what brand you use! I'm using a brand called Genuine Health!

They have a product called Omega+ Glow those capsules conain Omegas and other ingredients to enhance the skin complexion is what it says on the bottle! Pretty much I'm seeing pretty good results with these. I'm also using Flax Seed Oil as dressing for my salad and I dont see major improvements for the skin. It does help with mood, sleep, circulatory, also good for overall health@!

I take them daily and my skin has improved but I take alot of things so it's hard to say what is benefiting me the most.

Omega 3 FA's are found in fish, milk, eggs, walnuts. They are very good for your overall health but I don't know if they have any specific effects on skin.

I take flaxseed oil and i guess thats a source for omega 3. It is pretty good for my skin and It has cleared up my skin a tad bit.
