[QUOTE="GreenMachineX, post: 214847, member: 15245"] Update here: in about 4 days of dropping fish oil, it's apparent it was doing several things I didn't realize. First, absolutely giving some vasodilation effects to coincide with the first study Vince posted. Second, reducing sympathetic activity. I became overstimulated to the point they I could barely sleep and extremely uncomfortable. I added back in 1 cap instead of 2 and within hours, felt my brain and body relax. Now, today, took another 1 with breakfast and absolutely more relaxed. I did some research and apparently it lowers cortisol and NE which makes sense to my experience. I can't believe it only took 1 dose to feel the effects again, but as with all supplements, I'm a hyperresponder (its very frustrating). I know someone will scream "placebo!", and that's ok. In hindsight, I also think the higher dose of fish oil was suppressing immune function to a unhealthy degree due to some effects I was having such as sore tonsils, sneezing, and occasional feelings of malaise and chills. Since I've been dropping dose, all of this cleared up quickly. I'm guessing the anti-inflammatory effect in me is a bit too strong. Given all this, I'm wondering if the EPA/DHA ratio of the brand I was using wasn't good for me as it was 2:1. I ordered some Nordic Naturals which will give 3:2, and the extra DHA elevates e2 I've read which is welcome for me. [/QUOTE]
