Fish Oil question

[solidj55]

I would rather take fish oil as my main EFA rather than flax because flax is so easy to go bad. Now, I was wondering if there is an actual liquid/oil that you can get or if most of you guys use the caps. If so, what kind of caps do you use, mg/cap etc.

anyone?

Bump this to the top before I get off of here for the night.

theres a few options on the higher end caps. Ones the do extra filtering for impurities, etc.

It's mostly who has the cheapest.

you can find fish oil in bottle.

And you'd better chose a reputable brand as fish oil could be contaminated by chemicals (PCBs, dioxine,... which are carcinogens)

 

[solidj55]

SO which is better as far as the safest route for a good product, caps or liquid?

 

[anthrax]

Both... as long as they come from a good company

check the labels : if they did analysis to prove that they are no dangerous chemicals, they will tell you (some extraction process are safer than others)

If fish oil doesn't stay liquid when you keep it in a freezer it's not pure enough for human comsumption. I tried some Zone Labs fish oil for a couple of months and it incdreased my bad cholesterol!

You need to find pharmecutical grade fish oil. The only two I know of come from SearsLabs and Ocean Essentials. It's expensive but you don't need much of it - 4 capsules (which equals I think 1 teaspoons of the oil per day). Very concentrated.

A bunch of NFL trainers feed this and a small amount of GLA to their teams. Some guys have actually seen increased strength through the season - unheard of before they started this stuff.
