Flax caps for on the go
Hi I mostly use Udo's oil blend to get my EFAs, but am wondering if its a good idea to get Flax caps so that I can get in a Protein+Fats meal when I'm at work? If so, how much? I have some lying in my cupboard that is 1000mg with 50% Alpha linolenic acid. Should I jsut buy nuts?
Thanks in advance.

I prefer fish oil because its a better source of EPA/DHA and a hell of a lot cheaper.

The difference is that you have to pound down 14 capsules. That, and the caps do not oxidize since they don't come into contact with air.
As Jodi said, if you are gonna get EFAs, fish oil is prolly better anywho.If sense were common, everyone would have it.

I usually use both. I have some flax in the fridge if I need it and I have a bunch of bottles of fish caps for when I am out and about. I prefer the caps to the flax now a days for the reasons metioned and convience.Optimum Sports Performance
