Flaxseed Oil vs FishOil Caps

[kjluvi]

Right now I am taking 1-2 TBsp of Falxseed oil per day. Is there any need for me to supplement with fish oil caps?

fish oil is better than flax. there is a thread about it below.

Fish Oil only comes in caps, correct?

 

[Millie]

no, it comes in liquid too.

IS there a significant differance in effectivness?

I would go with capsules to avoid the atrocious flavor. Fish oils are quite nasty.

The advantage to using a liquid form is that you can easily tell when it is rancid by tasting or smelling it.

If you go with the capsule, split one occasionally and taste/smell to see if it is still good. Consuming a rancid batch would completely negate the whole purpose.

I have heard that fish oil is technically better than flax but it's WAY more expensive, like 3x if I am correct.

I do not believe that the increased price and side effects (namely fishy burps) are worth it.

I am very happy with my fresh Barlean's Flax oil that I keep in the freezer.
