Cod liver oil

[maxb01]

I'm taking cod liver oil with added fish oil and it's got lots of Omega 3 (about 2000mg I think). Is that the same as taking flax oil?

if im not mistaken,flax is richer in varoius efa's but fish have more omega-3's

Look into Perilla oil, or even Hempseed oil, both are excellent for Omega 3's but don't have the horrible taste and after affects of others.

Use something besides the cod liver oil for your efa's...regular fish oil, flax, hemp, etc. The cod liver oil has a lot of fat soluble vitamins--D and E and you want to be careful not to overdose because your body stores the extra instead of pissing them out. Plus flax tastes awesome in your protein drinks.
