Reaction to fish oil, achy joints for 12 to 24 hours

[WhatInThe]

Been taking fish oil off and on over the decades no issues. Over the last few years if I stop it and start up again I wind up with achy joints and tightness. It winds up going away 12 to 24 hours later. A day later things are good again. Is it an absorption or digestion issue? An allergic reaction? Old age?

My guess since fat soluable might not get benefit until in body tissues. They say oils are tough on the body's digestion.

Sounds strange to me. I also take fish oil and have never had any reaction, that I know of. Guess I will watch out for one. My joints do sometimes ache, will look for a connection...

Wish I could be of help, best of luck with it.

I've been taking a daily fish oil and Lutein pill for several years.....at the suggestion of my eye doctor, to help stave off Macular Degeneration, which my old Dad had. So far, so good, and no side effects.
