One thing you might notice taking fish oil without E is an increase in body odor. Oxidized lipids can produce stinky malondialdehyde and 2-Nonenal. If this occurs, it is an indication you're having oxidation issues.
I haven't experienced anything such yet, the only thing I got from the bio-marine fish oil is a small boost in general well-being, which might be because it helps to lower blood pressure a bit. But other than that, no side effects really.
The demonization of Vitamin-E is unfortunate as it is an "essential nutrient" and over 90% don't get adequate amounts from diet alone.
I'll agree high doses of synthetic E may be unwise, but it's interesting Dr Weil's bottom line is that modest supplementation of natural E with mixed tocopherols may still be wise. This most likely is particularly true in those with diets high in highly oxidizable omega-3's and other polyunsaturated oils.
I spent some more time reading about vitamin-e, and some praise it and even claims that it has anti-aging benefits, some warns against taking it (especially in a dosis of more than 200 ui). It is very confusing when scientists and researchers are contradicting themselves like this. But I will problably consider taking it, but definitely not the 525 ui capsules from pharma nord, as that seems like way too much.
That being said, I found some supplements with garlic which I might add to my collection, since I don't use much garlic for my cooking and eating raw garlic causes my stomach to get upset. I'm also not sure if I should take the multivitamin, as I generally eat healthy and variated foods (wholegrain, dark chocolate, fish, vegetables and fruit, any particular healthy foods I should include?). I also found this multivitamin with green tea and ginseng, what do you guys think?
