I would suggest 6-9 g a day. Get a quality brand. Personal choice is Carlson's.

Do you take all 6 at once or spread them out throughout the day? Take with meals? Take without? 6 everyday?

Anything else I do not know

What affects the difference in quality?

 

[tucker01]

The fish oil during manufacturing can be damaged, it is a sensitive oil, plus the filtering of heavy metals out of the oils.

There is a thread on another forum discussing the differences and how noticeable they are between higher priced quality brands and the cheaper brands. One of those things you get what you pay for.

Yeah I would split it up through out the day. 2-3g per dose.

Is the GNC brand okay?

Careful with Fish Oil - I recently found out that it was causing a massive spike in my liver enzymes. Personally I'm switching over to flaxseed oil to try and avoid some of the impurities in a lot of the brands.

Why would you get it and then ask if it's good?

a 3-6-9 does little to offset the imbalance that North American diets have in polyunsaturates with respect to omega-3:6 (we get too much omega-6 and not enough 3). The amount of DHA and EPA is too low (imo) in that brand.

more on balancing omega-3 and 6. omega-9 is non-essential

Well I got it cause I wanted to try some fish oil but at GNC none of the name brands seemed familiar or anything

So I just asked the guy what was good he said that one lol I know how to workout I just not the best with nutrition and supplements

I use to play professional hockey before I was out of shape......what we use to focus on was working out and technique....

Now that I have gained some wieght I am looking to lose and cut

Ill have to get something else thennn after this bottle

LOL! no that's cool. There are worse things to buy. My only beef with GNC is that they push whatever is on sale and tend to tell you what you want to hear about a product and not what it really is like.

Name brand familiarity is a good reason to purchase. I wouldn't knock that at all.

I just noticed your location (assuming Canada). Nutrition Plus on Pembina has good prices and quality supps. Sunrise Nutrition is good as well and can have decent prices.

RxOmega-3 Factors from Natural Factors is good
Jamieson Omega Protect isn't bad and usually a good price at Walmart.

Ditto. GNC are annoying. I refuse to shop there.
