Is there maybe a different type, brand, or mg usage you would recommend?
That 800mg is likely of fish oil. Check the back and find out how much EPA you're getting. People would recommend between 2-3gm of EPA per day, not 2-3gm fish oil per day. That may cause you to make a change.

But I don't think fish oil will give you direct benefits for joints. I've always believed its anti-inflammatory properties are best served in cardiovascular and blood circulatory pathways. It will help some, but I just don't think it will play quite as big of a role as you may like. I could EASILY be wrong, but from the few medical articles I've read, they've most talked about it in the cardio arena. I think Super Cissus Rx might be the good stuff you're looking for. Maybe Animal Flex if you said you can take that.
