+1 Would be great if you can share the brand

Original brand was out of Sweden and I can't find it anymore. But now using Carlson which you can find at any Whole Foods and it has been great.
When you say "spots", are you referring to locations in your body (joints) where you are experiencing inflammation and swelling?

How much fish oil are you taking? I think the normal dose is a tablespoon, how much did you have to increase the dose?

Have you tried Cod Liver oil instead?

Are you taking any other vitamins regularly?

RA creates a sort of skin rash for most (all?) people. If you google image search you will see what I mean.

I would suggest focusing less on the "how much volume" and rather more on the "how much DHA & EPA". Dr. Rhonda Patrick suggest 4g per day though.

Personally I was doing 2 teaspoons during that time and continue to do so today - liquid version (they also make capsules).

As for Cod - it looks like Carlson Cod has DHA and EPA but I personally use the "Very finest fish oil" one.

The one thing according to Dr. Patrick is that the plant based versions just don't work the same.

I use Carlson also; from everything I've read, that is the best. I eat fatty fish a few times a week too, but I saw no harm in adding a little extra oil.
Mollers by any chance? Would be bottled cod liver oil.
