I'm not sure about all of the different types of "Fish Oil's" that are available now days - there are so many now I think it over complicates things! The two that I have tried in the past were Cod Liver Oil(Capsules) and Glucosamine(Tablets). I found the Cod Liver Oil was no use at all(No matter the brand/strength etc.), and the Glucosamine(made from actual shells) to be of some help. But even then, before I found ANY benefit I had to try a lot of different Strengths/Brands/Types - which is made more complicated as there are so many different types and even different "sources" that are used in the process to manufacture them, and that was prob a good 10yrs ago I last tried them for myself.(I believe it's best in the form of "Glucosamine Sulfate" for Joint related ailments). With that said, I have heard and met some people that totally swear by Glucosamine, but for me it just wasn't worth the money at the time, the more cheaper ones were total rubbish and any that did help cost a small fortune back then anyway. Also, it can take up to 3 months of daily use for some "Fish Oils" to show any benefit they may have for you! (Glucosamine; takes a good 2-3 months for any proper benefit, a GP told me!)
It's actually a very good question you ask though; as I think many of us on here would find it helpful if there are other members that have had good(or bad!) experiences with any of the Fish Oils etc. - especially in regard to the more recent/modern types that are available these days. Personally, I would love to read first hand about any of these, especially if someone knows of one that helps with joint or muscular inflammation...
I know the ones that contain the Omega-3 oils/fatty acids are particularly good for your heart, eye's and brain function too.
It's worth having a good read on the web - as there really seems to be so many options available now!! But I can tell you going from my own and very limited experience, is that they really do wonders for some people, though you have to find what "Product", strength/brand etc. that suits you best personally; aimed at what it is that you need it for specifically(Inflammation/Joint pain/Omega-3 boost/Etc)...so it's a case of, "Horses for Courses" and "Do your Homework" - as my dear Mum used to say - God Bless her!
Also a good idea+worth doing, is to have a quick search for "Fish Oil", here within our own forum pages; as it brings up quite a lot of decent results! Maybe you could try changing the search words to something more specific to your needs?

Good Luck + I'm sure someone here will know more about this stuff than I, I know I personally would find any first hand experience on these supplements very interesting!!
