• Question: When is the best time to take Inner Health Plus?
• Answer: The best time to take Inner Health Plus is when you remember to! For many people it is easier to take Inner Health Plus with a meal. Fortunately the bacteria in Inner Health are resistant to stomach acid and bile so they can survive the harsh environment in your stomach when you eat. Some people find that they prefer to take it before breakfast, as this starts them off for the day. Others prefer to take it as the last thing at night before going to bed. Fortunately it does not really matter when you take it, so long as you remember to take it. The only time when it does matter is if you are taking antibiotics. If this is the case then separate the dose of Inner Health Plus from the antibiotics by at least two hours.

• Answer: Even if your diet includes a large amount of fish, unless you are eating 1.23 kg of snapper every day, chances are, you're still not getting a therapeutic dose of omega-3. It is far more convenient to take omega-3 in liquid form to get a therapeutic dose and there is no concern over heavy metals and other toxins which can be quite high in fish.
  
  Still enjoy fish as part of a healthy diet but definitely don't rely on it alone for all your omega-3 needs.

• Question: Can I take flax seed or other vegetable oils instead of fish oil and still get the same health benefits?
• Answer: Flaxseed oil is a source of omega-3 and omega-6 oils. Whilst it does increase the levels of EPA and DHA, it is not nearly as much as fish oil. The reason for this is that fish oil already contains the preformed EPA and DHA we need, whilst the body has to convert the omega-3 in flax oil to EPA and DHA. For the therapeutic dose needed to treat the inflammation associated with arthritis, fish oil is the most convenient and cost effective option.
