hmm lets see im 6'2, 222 right now and i take 3 tablespoons a day. mix them in with my shakes, that way i dont taste them at all...so in my opinion you should take at least 2 tablespoons a day...but maybe there is some female factor i dont know about??  ------------------ "...damn you for not giving my TEST" - Metallica IP: Logged |

Yup, I take 1.5 to 2 Tablespoons a day. That's about 22-30 grams, so if you're taking capsules, I suggest you try other ways to get it in you. If it's fresh oil, the taste should be hardly noticeable mixed up in shakes, drizzled over rice or spuds, etc... If it tastes too gross to eat then it's not fresh and you shouldn't eat it. Just return the unused portion for a refund. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Thanks MS - I've always taken the capsules (1000mg ea capsule) and never had a problem. I keep 'em in the fridge. Is the liquid better somehow? ps - Thanks to you to Mr M. I didn't forget ya. [This message has been edited by skydancer (edited June 11, 2000).] IP: Logged |

Liquid is not necessarily better. Just cheaper and I find it easier to swallow than 20-30 capsules per day. But I'm not good at pills. If you do use capsules, I would still urge you to break one open occassionally and give it the smell and taste test just to make sure you're not swallowing rancid oil. ------------------ IP: Logged |
