picked up some fish oil

[sconoscuito]

its in gel caps though

2 gel caps= like 2-3 grams of fat

so anyone can tell me how much of it I would need to take?

it was on sale at costco so I got that and a multivitamin

What is the EPA/DHA content per pill? It should say this on the label.

 

[sconoscuito]

natural fish oil concentrate 2000mg containing

EPA = 300mg

DHA = 200mg

 

[sawastea]

I normally consume 1800mg EPA and 1200mg DHA daily (10 pills at 180:120)

 

[Millie]

natural fish oil concentrate 2000mg containing

EPA = 300mg

DHA = 200mg

Is this per 1 pill or per 2 pills?

If this is the content per 1 pill, then take 5-6 pills per day.

If it is the content per 2 pills, then take 10-12 pills per day.

 

[sconoscuito]

should I spread them out during the day or all at once?

 

[Millie]

Doesn't matter.

The only reason you might want to spread them throughout the day, is that if you take 10-12 pills all at once, you might get fish burps. But that goes away eventually, after about 2 weeks.

i take a tablespoon = 20 g of fish oil fat. per day

 

[juve]

3tbsp (sometimes 4) for me = 42g's fish oil = 42caps => caps=disinvestment

the most sensible deduction followed from above: buy 'likk-it' fish oil!

 

[ProtienFiend]

ug.... tbsp.... how nasty is it?

ug.... tbsp.... how nasty is it?

the bottom of the bottle tastes like a pile of fish scales

 

[tatertoos]

I've found that it only takes 1g capsule to make me burp up fish flavor all day long!!LOL

 

[obiwan9962]

mine are 186 epa and 111 dha
i take 4 times a day for 12
mine are sourced strictly from pacific salmon
while atlantic salmon is just as good
and there are formulas out there stronger
i am type a blood and have allergic reaction to anything with anchovy oil (contained in many blends) in it of any concentration

 

[obiwan9962]

i also take 6 caps of vegetarian 369
each containing 300 flaxseed oil, 300 pumpkin seed oil and 150 borage
for an extra (per cap) 33 gla
on top of the 3 tablespoon flax seed oil
and 3 tablespoon roasted peanut oil
and all the olive oil i cook with

 

[SoreArms]

I picked up some emulsified, high EPA/DHA fish oil recently and that is the most disgusting thing I have ever consumed in the name of fitness, even when put into my shake.

I think the caps are the best way to go on this one

health from the sun
has some decent lemon- lime tasting bottles of fish oil.

Rather cheap, and not that bad tasting.
