why?

10/11/2007 4:03:06 PM

inflamation and mental health are my main reasons


However, there are many more benefits

10/11/2007 4:10:06 PM

can u tell a difference? mental health? i dont get that. what do they do for mental health?

10/11/2007 4:10:52 PM

There is lots of research on it. Google the two.

Yes, I do. However, I started supplementing it along the same time I drastically changed my diet, started getting serious about training (physical exercise), and started taking sleep more seriously. I notice a night and day difference overall. I do notice, that when i neglect the fish oil, I am more sore.

4-6 capsules... How much in mgs?

10/11/2007 4:53:20 PM

my dad drinks the cod liver oil daily

says its good for him

10/11/2007 4:57:12 PM

freeze the capsules, that cuts down on the burps.

10/11/2007 4:57:56 PM

About a 1000mg each.

I forget the epa, dha, and cla amounts, but they are high compared to the avg.


I'll give the freezing a try.

That's well above what you should be taking.

Wiki:

The AI (acceptable intake) for n-3 is 1.6 grams/day for men and 1.1 grams/day for women

The FDA recommends that total dietary intake of omega-3 fatty acids from fish not exceed 3 grams per day, of which no more than 2 grams per day are from nutritional supplements.

The National Institutes of Health recently published recommended daily intakes of fatty acids, specific recommendations include 650 mg of EPA and DHA, 2.22 g/day of alpha-linolenic acid.

10/11/2007 5:06:35 PM

normally that dosage is of the dha and epa combined, but you can still go beyond.

10/11/2007 5:10:00 PM

Oh wow do you take the Omacor rx capsules or otc?

10/11/2007 5:13:53 PM

Sure, you can take a whole handful of them I suppose. As to how heathful or safe that is remains uncertain, but studies show benefits are obtained at much lower levels than you're taking.

10/11/2007 5:15:05 PM

otc

STUDIES ALL TALK ABOUT DHA AND EPA MG LEVELS.

Active individuals generally require more. All my docs adn psch have been ok with this. My blood work supports what I'm doing is working.

where do you get off giving advise about nutrition ?

[Edited on October 11, 2007 at 5:21 PM. Reason : those will probably end up being sweet teas]

10/11/2007 5:19:28 PM

if you have shell fish allergy is it bad to take those?

10/11/2007 5:22:29 PM

it messes w/ my stomach thats why i can't handle it, but i'm sure it works well. Yeh omacor is the only fda approved Fish Oil b/c regular supplements aren't. I think Omacor changed its name though recently.

10/11/2007 5:22:36 PM

That isn't me. Why the hostility?

10/11/2007 5:22:54 PM

There isn't any, really.

Just intarnet banter

[Edited on October 11, 2007 at 5:26 PM. Reason : are those sweet teas?]

i take my from a bottle - no fish burbs (and it is orange flavored - actually not bad at all, no fishy taste whatsoever)

10/11/2007 7:36:27 PM

I thought maybe this was a thread relating to sushi. Because last Saturday night, even as I was going to bed like 6 hours after dinner, I was burping fish/soy flavors.

me too

organic cold pressed hemp seed oil is better, and obviously isn't fishy

but it's more expensive

oh and

cheaper brands of fish oil capsules have levels of mercury and shit

the more expensive ones somehow don't
