> > > No I break it down. I take a pill 4 times a day (as per bottle instructions) with some type of food. Look for quality product with fish oil. Some are made of larger fish which contain higher amount of toxins. Ascenta is a good product. Every bottle comes with a number you can use on their website to check the results of quality control tests they did on that very bottle, and they're quality certified.

for me vitamin e boosts the effect of fish oil. i think it works by preventing the oil becoming rancid in my body.
b vits for me react badly with fish oil. i get more depressed when i mix them. i dont know why. i just avoid them.
thats a very high dose of b6 you're taking. does it benefit you in any way?
resveratrol didnt react badly with FO for me at all. other things did though including: magnesium, selenium and rhodiola.
the best way to find out what helps or hinders is to keep a daily journal of what you take, the foods you eat and exercise you do etc, and how your mood is after. you will quickly see patterns emerge and find out what makes you feel better/worse. this approach helped me hugely to make progress against anxiety/depression.
