Fish Oil vs. CLA
Whats the difference? Is there one? Are they the same?
In a nutshell, this is what I know of each:
Fish Oil
1. Heart healthy
2. Helps make the body use its stored fat for energy
3. Helps with inflammation
4. Helps with brain function
5. Helps with joints (same as 3?)
CLA
1. Heart healthy
2. Helps make the body use its stored fat for energy even tho its a trans fat
Anything else? In a world where you can have one or the other, theyre both free, which would you supplement?6' 217lbs (10/18)
Bench 365 (12/3)
Weighted Pullups 80lbs 3x3 (3/19)
Squat 370
Deadlift after herniation 385lbs 3x3 (3/17)

Fish oil is proven with an endless list of benefits and is very cheap. 3-6g a day is good amount to take, although you can take 10g if you wish to take all the benefits.
CLA is great supplement, but smaller amounts of it are useless, and is ridiculously expensive. Is just not cost effective (and there are very few human studies done which produced limited and mixed results). You need to take at least 3g a day, but 4-6g would be better.

Expensive is the reason I ask first!
If it really does remove fat from the belly, as Ive read too, then Id say its worth the cost.

It would take like 12 weeks and cost like 10-15 boxes of clenbuterol, and you will lose maybe an inch at best. Originally Posted by AKIRA

I remember asking this a long time ago and people really said it wasn't worth it. However this was a few years back. Science has a way of updating itself
subbed in case we find its something one should be taking.Please do not PM me with questions, I will not PM you back.
