Nice!


Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

If you get the standard 33% EPA/DHA, then 6 caps per day.

The difference is that cod liver oil should only be used in the winter months or cold climates. It contains alot of Vitamin D and if you live in a warmer climate, you typically don't suffer from vit d deficiency unless you are a hermit. So for changing climates, in the winter go with cod liver oil if you want and the summer go with fish oil.

thats just plain frickin nasty...olive oil tastes a lot better.
I do use about 10 fish oil caps a day when training for a contest, along with flax and olive. I also eat burger meat for the "bad" fats.


Eat well, train daily, die anyway.

A suggestion for you all when taking fish oil: It doesn't bother me at all taking the capsules, but some people complain of the fish taste coming back up into their mouths. My doctor suggested feezing your fish oil caps. and this is supposed to keep the fish flavor down. Haven't tried it yet, but thought someone might want to.
