What others say about Your Guide to Fish Oil and Health

"The eGuide is comprehensive and a very valuable resource."

Andrea Mortensen
Consultant Dietitian and Former Executive Director, Omega-3 Centre

"This was such a useful read.  Just the way Catherine's discusses the types of fish oil and the ways you can take in, I found it all clear and easy to understand. Having had arthritis for the past five years, I've taken the odd fish oil tablet but never really knew whether they were enough or if I was buying the right sort.  Now it's clear to me that I wasn't taking the right amount - and I realise I don't have to spend up on the big brands.  I can shop around as I know what to look for on the label.  A winner for me."
