if some random started telling me to take 20 capsules of something that i was previously taking 2 off, i would definately do my research before doing it.

This is why said that I take that much but didn't suggest others should.

Fish oil in that sort of dosage of the standard 1000mg capsules is the only thing that aids my elbows and knees with the pain I get from lifting.

don't get me wrong, the pain is not "oh my god I'm going to die" pain.. but rather a dull ache after lifting.

it's probably more to do with the fact that I'm closer to 35 than 18 though.

It's not that strong per dose, especially seeing as though the dose is 10ml, although it is quite dense in omega 3.

The omega3 in flaxseed oil is ALA, alpha linolenic acid. It doesn't contain EPA and DHA which marine omega 3's contain.

ALA can be converted by your body to epa and dha, but the synthesis is very low in most people. In other words the omega 3 in

flaxseed IS NOT the same as omega 3 in fish oil.

Omega 6 is found in alot of foods, don't really have to supplement it.

Omega 9 is not an essential fatty acid, which means your body can produce it, so again, don't need to supplement it.

Conclusion - take fish oil instead of flax oil

I have gout (I'm only 23 but have family history of it) basically my liver is a lazy bastard & doesn't flush out all the toxins from food etc. like it should & that crap crystalises in my big right toe, f'n painful

starting taking fish oil tablets (1000mg you can buy from woolies) & haven't had any pain at all since :thumbsup:

got a blood test done at the doctors & my uric acid levels (the stuff that causes the pain) have returned to normal

  • 2 weeks later...

Righteo so finally picked them up.

Took one this morning so here is my little review.

Opened the package and they are the standard size of all the fish oil tablets. Had a sniff inside the capsule and there is a very slight fishy smell but not much at all, which was suprising.

Took one after a bowl of cereal for breakfast - just down the hatch with some water. No taste what so ever.

Few hours later now and I would not even know that I had taken one. No burps. No taste in my mouth. No feeling in my stomach - nothing.

So overall I think it's fantastic and would highly recommend giving it a shot to people that have problems with taking other fish oil tablets due to "side effects".

Also because I ticked to be on their loyalty program I get 10% off every purchase. Because the first purchase doesn't include the 10% off, your second purchase makes up for it with 20% off. So brings the price down even more.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
