when to take EFA?

[D00fy]

does it matter when EFA is takin? is it good to take it with my last protein meal before bed?

 

[Stryc-9]

Yes, taking it before bed with some protein is a good idea - as the fat will slow absorption of the protein - keeping you anabolic as you sleep, if you will....in theory....

The only time I would recommend NOT taking it is immediately after a workout....in your post-workout meal.....

I take one Tbs of Flax before bed with a Met-Rx, and another one either with my first meal or third meal.

any time except post workout

at bed time is OK, as Stryc-9 said, to slow down protein absorption

Wow, thanks for the tips. I've been taking EFA's for years, and
never really heard, or knew of a more optimum time to take them.
I usually have just been taking them in the AM & PM whenever
I got a chance. I will try to do before sleep now the 2nd dose.

Does everyone buy them seperately? I did for a long time, but
I've been using the Omega Stack by Muscle-Link lately, this seems
like a good product, with the right ratios.

omega 6s are no issue

just add omega 3s (flax seed oil or fish oils)
