The Benefits of Fish Oil

[obiwan9962]

omega3 are very beneficial for overall health

i mainly take salmon oil, udo's and flax
but recently my store was out of salmon oil
so i purchased the salmon-anchoy-sardine mix
thinkig what the hey should be just as good if not better
well after a week i found i itched all over
esp my extremities
well my natrupath explained that since i had asian blood
and most asians are type a blood that
most type a have allergic reactions to hight amounts of anchovies
so i tossed the bottle and searched all of ottawa to find strickly salmon oil
i was looking specifically for organika brand of pacific salmon oil
i did not want to play with another just in case the previous one left me sensitive

good luck bois let me know what else you find out

i recently switched from flakseed to cod liver oil...it has a good amount of vit D...living in chicago, im vit D deficient half the year. Once the sun comes back out, ill probably go back to flakseed

Here's an article that says not to buy Costco brand. I don't knoiw if the person that wrote the article has a personal motive though. It's off the Mercola website:

Interesting post. I'm a new poster here, I like the bodybuilding threads, but also interested in general health.

I work in the medical field, and I've seen a new trend over the past few years---cardiologists prescribing vitamin E in stroke and MI patients. As a side note, they also prescrive coenzyme Q10.

Now, I've been taking Vitamin E for many years, but not fish oil. With the recent studies, I've been thinking about either:
--Adding fis oil, or
Switching to fish oil from vit E.

Any suggestions? There may be benifits to taking BOTH, or, there may be a greater risk due to the compounded anti-coagulation effects.

hi kona

hey keep the E and add the fish oil
but also increase the ingestion of olive oil and peanut butter to round out the efa's

as for CoQ10 be careful cheaper brands are sourced from tobacco

happy new year fellow canuck

Interesting article on the Costco brand. I was actually just going to head out and buy some...there may be personal motive in that article (You can't trust anything to read off the 'Net) but nonetheless, I think it may be worthwhile to look around.

Thanks, Obiwan. (MikeMartial/Kona here, same guy, just didn't post for 3 weeks, and had to get a new name.), good idea about the efa's.
