Do fish oil tablets really do you any good?

Not much. You have to take a boatload of those things to get any sizeable amount of the Omega EFAs. You're much better off just eating fish regularly. Or if you don't like fish (I have to force myself to eat it), then a good alternative is flax seed. You can either find some palatable way of using the seeds themselves or use flax seed oil in your salad dressing or protein shake.

Plus those capsules are expensive!

According to Joe Mercola it is good because it is rich in Omega 3 fatty acids. I've heard that it's important for brain fuction and is an essential oil.

I take flaxseed oil.
 
They're good, and flax seed oil is also a good alternative as well. Tastes like ass though. But anyways, the more omega-3 fats you get, the better.
 
i remember ALL through my pre-teen years i was made to drink a spoonful of cod-liver-oil
a day..*shudder*...some English type..all white thick liquid...tastes like fish-ass...and box was orange..

I don't like fish, I took fish oil pills for a while, but then I burped up fish breath all day. Havent done flax seed yet, but will look into it.

Tasted a lot of fish ass, have we? :Q 😉
 
I've read that fish oil in pills can be too concentrated and might even be bad for you. Natural fish oil isn't something that can't be obtained naturally in a natural dosage such as vitamins a, b-complex, e and others.

My parents used to make me take that cod liver oil and it was so nasty, but I never had one day that I was sick while taking it, except while it was going down!
