Thread: Fish oil may prevent muscle loss

20 grams split into 4 doses.

Just over 3g of EPA/DHA combined. Tis good shit.

what about Krill oil?? the concentration is even stronger..I use it every day.

What he said. I try for 4 grams EPA/DHA, but there's only half a gram in each 1 gram pill I take, and I usually wind up with just 3 grams, because I found it's best to take the pills along with your whole-food meals that have some fat in them already.

I take 2 pills

Sent from my HD7 using Board Express

2 caps won't be enough. I take ten daily and am considering doubling that.

I switched from fish oil to krill oil recently. More effective and less calories works for me.

Yeah, I hear good things about krill oil. I may switch to this soon.

I used to take 3 grams a day. I stopped it coz someone mentioned that it prevents me from losing weight. So I stopped... and started losing weight little by little. Coincidence? Maybe. But whatever I'm doing or not doing right now is working so I'll leave it until I reach my weight goal.

Your friend is on crack. Three grams of ANY dietary fat won't prevent you from losing weight - its only 30 calories.

I take 20g a day, everyday. It's an inexpensive measure to preserve good health.

I currently only take 2g/day, but I'll probably start mega-dosing soon, run them out and then make the switch ti krill oil.

3 grams daily split into 3 doses

3g of combined EPA/DHA, or 3g of fish oil?

I was taking in 1200mg of fish oil a day because of the label. 1200mg is 2 pills should I take 4 to 6 pills a day instead?

The 2 pills of 1200mg of fish oil only have 360mg of Omeg3. I'm thinking of taking 4 in the morning and 4 at night to get around 2880mg of omeg3. too much?

I saw this a good illustration on how much Omeg 3 your getting in fish oil.

And there you go. The AHA finds 3g combined EPA/DHA safe to take without a doctor's supervision. That's the amount in 10 ordinary fish oil caps, so that's what I take.
