It's hard to say which I prefer. Maybe it ultimately comes down to what people think are most important, e.g., intelligence, beauty, sociability, happiness, motivation.
If I go with the fish oil, I have to whittle it down even further. In my personal experience, there seems to be substantial differences in between the following:
1. OmegaBrite
2. Nature's Pharmaceuticals
3. Eskimo-3
4. Norweigan Salmon oil--------------------
~OmegaBrite1. Too stimulating
2. Lifted mood dramatically
3. Forced to discontinue b/c of hypomania###END###
~Nature's PharmaceuticalsThis was the first brand I ever tried. I took approximately 3 grams per day in conjunction with (a) restricted diet (animal protein, fruits, vegetables, greens) (b) lots of water, and a (c) vegetable/ fruit/ green smoothie containing at least 8 foods*
*All the foods were ordered from Diamond Organics b/c of the high phytonutrient content (all vine-ripened and picked the same day you order) and organic (high vitamin and mineral content)
Over that week I experienced the largest biochemical transformation that I've ever experienced. Unfortunately I stopped when I started getting detox reactions from the strict diet and daily smoothie.
I experienced the following:
1. Focus
2. Rational thought as opposed to paranoid thought
3. Positive outlook
4. Body energy
5. Enhanced sense of well-being
6. Feeling more in the world, in society, in fashion even
7. Greater motivation
8. Able to stop and consider the details instead of just discounting them, because there's not enough time or they're too trivial as compared to the "big picture"Number 8 is very important, and combined with number 2 and 3, you begin to feel like you're thinking like a normal person.
###END###
~Eskimo-31. Focus, delayed onset. You have to take it for a few days, but then it hits you. Very capable, clear, with an almost laser-beam focus.
###END###
~Norweigan Salmon OilYou get what you pay for, $7.90 ... j/k
1. It seems to make the environment more vivid, surreal, and turn my thinking in that direction. 2. Fosters unusual combinations of ideas.
3. More creative and faster without an increase in intelligence.I don't "feel" it's very healthy for me.
###END###
--------------------So I have a basic dilema. I believe it's a choice between Nature's Pharmaceuticals Fish Oil and Krill Oil.
I want to re-start the regimen I had going with the (a) restricted diet (b) water (c) smoothie (d) oils. But I'm afraid if I use foods from Whole Foods in my smoothie along with Krill Oil for my oil, then I'm not really on the same regimen I was before.
There's the old axiom, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
I'm basically not sure if Whole Foods would be adequate, as compared to Diamond Organics, and if Krill Oil would be better.
