EFAs

[tonio]

We all know that EFAs are great supp
we can find omega 3s in :
either some vegetable oils (flax, canola, borage,...)
or fish oils

which one is the best ?

If you buy oil in softgels (I can't buy liquid) does the process (to make the softgels) destroy the EFAs ?

Flex Novemver 2000:

Flaxseed oil is an excellent source of the omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (an EFA).

You ought to try Udo's Choice for getting your EFA's. It has a total blend of omega 3's, flax, mct's etc. you can get at netrition.com

I like Udo's choice

it's a nice blend...Tastes fine straight, but I put it in my shakes.

 

[FSUGeneticFreak]

Buy a Flax meal and u can mix it will cereal, yogurt, etc.

 

[seeseerider]

follow ENRAGE advice...Udo's choice is the best on the market!! every diet guru/expert agree on this one,they ALL advocate Udo's essentiel blend.

Udo's choice is a little expensive for me. I use Health From The Sun Omega 3 Flax oil. It is a good source of omega's 3, 6, and 9 and is only $17.70 for 48 ounces at dpsnutrition. Tastes pretty good too.

super polyunsaturates are weak uncouplers of oxidative phosphoralation-

- they increase your metabolic rate

UDO's is good if it is your only source of fat

the american diet, typically has lots of omega -6

so the addition of flax oil is usually sufficient

I'm using MQ's flaxseed oil now, I think I read somewhere on this board that efa's cannot convert to bodyfat? Anybody know this for sure?

 

[riskybiz007]

i'm using Omega 3 FlaxSeed Oil from Health from Sun

 

[bodyfx]

Yup...go with Udo,s.Oh,and Hog...anything can turn into bodyfat if you are taking in more calories than you are expending,however,EFA's are less likely to be used for bodyfat storage because they are used first for many other functions in the body.
