Omega 3 Fish Oil

[TTT]

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.

I just take pure flaxseed oil (melrose brand) that has omega 3, 6 and 9. Very strong dose per serving.

[Husky33]

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

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

[GTR-N1]

Good stuff! ^ ^ ^

Eating beetroot and chives continues to keep uric acid low.

Drinking dandelion tea and eating artichokes helps to tonify fatty liver and produce bile.

by dandelion, you're talking about those things that infest your lawn in summer right? not even in the summer, they infest all year round. with prickly hairy leaves?

wrong black hole

They arrived today. Just got to go pick mine up from my parents place next time i'm around that way.

[PM-R33]

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.
