Omega 3 Fish Oil

[R31Nismoid]

And after a week - report the same?

[PM-R33]

Yep still fine man

My girlfriend has been taking them aswell and no negative effects.

One day I had a tiny bit of a fishy taste from a burp a couple of hours later but that's only because I was running late for work, didn't eat breakfast and only had the tablet.

i use Triple Strength Fish Oil from GNC

1 a day, dont see many noticeable results, but I didnt when I was taking 6 a day of another brand either.

It might work better if taken in conjunction with Musashi Inositol

Inositol and EPA/DHA collectively strengthen the myelin sheaths of cells.

And Plan C is to also introduce Coenzyme Q10 whilst working out.

I can't say that the above is the answer for you; but at least it's a process of elimination.

was that directed to me terry?

^ ^ ^ for anyone who isn't getting what they expect from Fish Oil Mitch

BTW Salmon Oil seems to be better for joint mobility according to one seminar I went to back in '03 I think it was.

My order turned up late last week of the same brand Phil got, i did the premium though.

So far only taking 1 per day and I'm not getting any major issues with reflux and I get it bad with other tablets.

Very impressed and I'm feeling quite good at the moment. Will report back in a couple of weeks.

Curiously, if I'm eating a 95gm can of tuna each day, will this give me enough Omega 3 or should I be supplementing with tablets?

[GTR-N1]

I cannot recall any info that says that fatty acid chains are altered deleteriously during the canning process.

Experiment:- try omega 3 at optimal doses for say 3 months then stop > then check a couple of weeks later if your functioning falls off somewhat?

[Birds]

My question was more related to the content of Omega 3, i.e. Is the tuna can a suitable daily dosage?

Experiment sounds good but OCD won't let me do that lol, it'll pickup on some psychosomatic placebo response even if I'm in the control group

On the plus side Tiger Balm works wonders for me...

What benefits should I be looking for (bad experimental bias here) when introducing Omega 3 to the diet?

Curiously, if I'm eating a 95gm can of tuna each day, will this give me enough Omega 3 or should I be supplementing with tablets?

My 195gram can of tuna in olive oil contains:

32mg EPA

155MG DHA

Olive oil contains omega 3's, and its ~81% tuna, 19% olive oil.

An omega 3 capsule contains a lot more than that, tuna is not a fatty fish, salmon is

Ideally you should be balancing your omega 6 to omega 3 ratio, although I've never known how much omega 6 I'm getting through my diet so I've been taking a small amount of fish oil.

EDIT: Possibly irrelevant but one of the benefits of omega 3 is lower inflammation levels. However, I've found circumin much more effective than anything else for that, its got my tendonitis under control

[R31Nismoid]

Must report in... Getting slight reflux issues with the Xtend life product, in certain situations.

The only time I do is if I take one soon as I get outta bed. So not having eaten for 8-9hrs.

Long as I have even a small amount of food, its totally fine.

So quite impressive overall

[PM-R33]

Good to gear man. I've noticed similar. If I take one before breakfast I get a couple of burps after an hour or so.

After breakfast or with any food it's all good.

I'm onto my second bottle now. Got the second one a lot cheaper due to their loyality program thing

[R31Nismoid]

I get mine in less than 15mins after taking it

But ye, overall quite good. Not sure if it's just the oil or the fact im coming off a pretty hefty illness but im certainly feeling quite good the past week since I've started taking it

So what's the deal with fish oil tablets? Been thinking of buying some... I eat about 180g canned tuna a week - would that be sufficient enough to not have to supplement with fish oil tablets?

What brand should I get if I do need some? They will need to be small tablets, I currently don't swallow tablets because my mind say's no haha.
