Ive been on hormones for 2 months (Under medicals care!) my friend says taking fish oil pills helps with the skin..Im also trying to gain weight so im guessing this will help also? (And by the way..I'm not FTM on a MTF LOL i dont know how to change my gender on this )

I'm almost always craving fish. I take care of the craving by taking fish oil pills because fish is 1 expensive and 2 not all that tasty where I live.  Your body will tell you exactly what it is you need to eat most of the time, if you just listen. The omega 3 fatty acids will help you loose belly fat if your working out. Weight gain overall, just give it a few months. It seems inevitable if your on HRT going towards female.

And you have to have 15 posts to change your profile.  You can ask a staff member to change it for you.

Yes my naturopath doctor has me taking 4000mg/day of Omega3. It helps with a lot of things but also with blood clotting.

Yep I do Omega3 and Flaxseed supplements.....(But not 2 weeks pre surgery).... so am off them till at least post the 14th...

But they are a good bet (with long-term HRT) as they work in an anti-coagulant way... and in your children fish oil shows promising results for lifting IQ...

Awesomee, I thought it would damage my liver.
But my friend takes them and she looks great and is healthy !

Yeah I had understood omega-3s to assist in making cells more permeable, so I had started taking them when I thought I some form of insulin insensitivity. I decided to keep taking those supplements after my blood tests came out fine because I've felt healthier overall.

I always had really healthy fingernails until I stopped having testosterone.  My manicurist recommended fish oil to strengthen my nails.  (Dunno if that's working yet. )  My doctor knows I take them and thinks that's a good idea even though he also knows that I'm concerned about my liver.

I dont really care about my finger nails...although i should..i keep bitting them x[

There is no reason not to take them, heart/brain health alone should be enough motivation!

If you want Omega-3 eat flax seeds, Lingonberries and Kiwis instead of fish. Fish meat and derived oil is just so full of pollutants plus the fish industry is raping the seas so....If you want to learn more you so defo check out this video (I recommend you to download it).
