Fish Oil/ Flaxseed Oils
Regarding fish oil & flaxseed oil. I realize it's an essential part of your daily diet, but is the dosage the same for everyone? I have my workouts and diet down, but I'm am not taking any essential oils.... So, I'm thinking I need to start, but don't know quantity, X's daily other than what is printed on the bottle. Is there a sticky on this somewhere?
Thanks! |

My doctor told me that 10 Fish Oil Caps is equal to an 8 oz. fillet of Salmon in actual fish oils. So that's what I take, but I'm not the expert here.

I split it in 2 doses, but my DR. said it shouldn't really matter. I buy mine from Costco they are 1000mg Fish Oil. I really love Fish Oil and I think I notice a difference, either way it helps with your Cholesterol so take it anyways. Also I have heard people have lost 5% more fat then a placebo group not taking any form of omega 3's. If you have a warehouse store like Costco or Sam's Club they sell them in 400 tab bottles so it last's 40 days.

you should take them with some type of fat or they do not serve their full purpose.

essential fatty acids. almonds are a good source of EFAs. i am not sure about the specifics. my wife is the clinical dietician. i just do what she says. i can find out some specifics for you later. she did say if you are not getting 15-20% of your diet from fat then you need a good multivitamin. certainly not saturated fat.

Ok - well, I think I'm a tad below of the 15-20%.... the only other fat that I am taking in would be the chicken, tuna or other lean meat. I only put the almonds in for meal #3. I do take a multi-vitamin, glutamine and creatine, so with the fish oils tabs plus flax seed, I'm thinking I should be good!
Thanks! ![]() |

My 2 cents:
10-15g fish oil (or more if you're a bigg'un) in split doses; I take 5 before each meal. If you want to add flax, make that 5-10g. As mentioned, they are best taken with other fats, but if your meal isn't too fatty, take the fish oil anyway. If you take any other fat-soluble supplements (SesaThin, Vitamin E, Rebound XT, etc.) this is also a good time to take those. |

if nuts are one of ur source of EFAs, try walnuts instead of almonds or anything else. walnuts taste not that good but still

I'll see how that works - I just wanted to be sure I was taking enough in to produce the correct results...
