In reply to What vitamins with fish oil?, posted by doxielover on September 7, 2004, at 21:56:48
> I recently started taking fish oil, 2 1000mg capsules a day. I have heard that it is important to take certain vitamins with fish oil because it somehow depletes certain vitamins in your system. Does anyone know what these are? I take a multivitamin every time I take a fish oil capsule, is that sufficient?
Vitamin E is the most important. That applies no matter why you're taking fish oil. If there is a particular health issue behind your decision, certain other nutrients may be indicated. Alphalipoic acid is also a very strong candidate, right behind vitamin E. Alphalipoic helps recycle vitamin E, and extends its usefulness.
