What people say about Omega-3 and sleep
“I take a therapeutic dose everyday to help with chronic pain from bulging discs. The difference is stark when i skip a day.”
“I started taking fish oil (with 1000mg epa+dha this time, means 4-6 pills of 1gm a day). Though it can be the placebo but my sleep is improved now, I can sleep for 5-6 hours now.”
“I would take all of those before bed and my sleep evened out pretty quickly.”
