From what I know (student pharmacist here) fish oil is good for cholesterol, and that's all its been proven for. Cod liver oil I am unsure, but if you want joint pain help, I'd try Glucosamine/Chondroiten tablets. Go to your local wal-mart, Target, Walgreen's or whever and look for those. Osteo-bi-flex is a name brand of it, but just get the generic stuff, it works just as good. Herbal "supplements" can at times do more harm than good. People don;t know they're not regulated by the FDA under the same laws as drugs are since they are considered food supplements and not drugs... Thus they can be impure, and a lot of them are loaded with pesticides and heavy metals and other things that are generally harmful to your body.
