Has anyone ever heard of taking Fish Oil pills to increase your sex drive (in women)? My husband "stumbled upon" an article featuring fish oil as a means to increasing the sex drive in women. (Apparently, he wasn't looking for ways to increase women's sex drive... haha!! YEA RIGHT!!) He said it raises testostrone levels, and as a result, increases sex drive. I'm skeptical, but I bought a small bottle from the grocery store the other day. I haven't taken it yet, and it might be the biggest waste of five bucks ever, but I wanted to get opinions on here first.

I'm worried about side effects. I'm not a genius in the hormones department. Testostrone- hmm.. Will I start to grow a ton of hair in places I don't want it? Will I break out? Also, they contain anchovies! Yuck! I'm worried about bad breath! I'm not sure these kinds of side effects are worth it. Anyway, any input would be awesome!

Why don't you start eating oily fish instead?

I've never heard of fish oil having that side effect - lol! If you are daring enough to try it, please let us know what you think. I'm pretty sure you won't have to start shaving a beard anytime soon

Seriously though, maybe do a quick internet search for "fish oil side effects" because I'm not sure if there is any.

I SWEAR by fish oil, though I've never thought about it for the sex drive thing It's amazing for your heart, your mood, your brain (it's been proven to help with signs of depression), your skin, etc.

I LOVE fish oil! We also eat a lot of wild salmon in our house to get all the Omega 3's

I've never heard of any negative side effects.

Samual... I HOPE YOU'RE KIDDING!! hehe! And thanks for the posts, everyone! They are exactly what I needed to start taking them! I'm going to brave the open internet for side effects first. We'll see what happens! Hopefully is has a positive effect on the sex drive.

Fish oil you buy from the shops is pumped full of chemicals, wild fish isn't, so you get the benefits of the oils, the proteins etc.
