It takes about 2 or 3 weeks but if you're taking "quality" fish oil pills or some other form of Omega 3 on a regular basis, you will notice a difference. A bit more energetic, clear thinking a bit easier, all around better mood, better concentration.... It does work. Don't take that Wal-Mart shit though, or most any multivitamins. Your body only has certain receptors for this shit and low quality stuff or most multivitamins in general only a little bit is actually received by your body because of the chemical structure, and 90% of it is pissed out without ever having a chance to be absorbed.
