The funny thing is the brands that have being around for 40 plus years are usually the cheaper ones and the new supplement companies are expensive, I guess they have not made enough money as yet.

If you can eat fish, its much cheaper to eat canned wild salmon/mackerel/sardines every day or two - you kill two birds with one stone then because it is a protein source too and the actual fish has more nutrition in terms of minerals and nutrients, saturated and mono-unsaturated fats etc not obtained through a fish oil supplement alone

I recommend liquid. Carlson's is my fav. You're wasting your time with cheap shitty Costco/Walmart caps with low EPA/DHA amounts. Caps in general are a bad idea (even the high concentration ones).

If you arent getting 1-2g of total DHA per day you're wasting your time and wont see the "magical" effects marketed about fish oil. You really need to take a LOT of fish to get great results. People popping 1g of shitty caps a day are not getting much.

For a 200lb+ male serious about body composition and lipid profile (because your lipids are shit from being on gear) I'd take 5g/day of a quality liquid fish oil. Many people out there recommend even more. Most of you are not taking NEAR enough for the touted magical benefits. Let just summarize that further by stating most of you are complete retards with your diet and supplementation anyway (you dumb fucking meatheads).

there is ZERO effect... unless you are a lactating mother...and in that case their is a minor benefit.

if you take it, and believe in it, you are experiencing placebo and have been scammed..

Dude you are so wrong its not hype the imbalance between omega 6 and 3 is very high in humans cause our diet is low in omega 3 and high in omega 6, this causes inflamation in the body opening you up to future heart problems and and other illness in the body, ignorance is a dangerous weapon.

Absolute rip-off when you consider the cost of canned mackerel and sardines. I get sardines for 70 cents to one buck a can, and that's real food. Besides, you can eat fresh salmon or sardines three times a week and take some flaxseed oil and be set for the week with omega-3 fatty acids. Throw in other fats that one might eat, such as nuts and seeds, especially walnuts, and you're fine for omega-3's.

Except if you ask Charles Loliquin.

All from fish oil company supported reviews. ::) I read all about it. Monosaturated fats are more important. And all these with heart problems without omega 3's were obese anyway. Eating healthy balanced is enough rather buying in to supps. Food supplement industry is far worse hyping their supps, than bodybuilding supps.

just use e.g.

- flax seed oil

- extra virgin olive oil

Doesn't contain any EPA/DHA

not if you eat fish

Not many fishes contain sufficient amounts of EPA/DHA.

this is a good fat source if you have money to blow:

http://www.udoschoice.co.uk/products/udos-choice-ultimate-oil-blend

See below

-Prefer Flaxseed oil. -Same benefit, better smell and taste.

Not true

Basically ~ Yes
We want Omega 3's.  We all know that.  But, omega's differ ~ long chain vs short chain, ~ without getting into a big scientific disertation, the bottom line is:  We want EPA & DHA .  EPA & DHA come DIRECTLY from fish and fish oil.  Flax oil is ALA (Alpha-linolenic Acid)(not to be confused with Alpha-Lipoic Acid).  The reason we're always hearing about getting ALA from flax and other sources is because the body CONVERTS it into what it needs (EPA & DHA), BUT the process is very inefficeint and the conversion rate is only 5-10%.  So it's best to get it from the source ~ FISH!

Now, there are a whole host of other benefits from flax - from the seeds - Ground (not whole), but that would be a whole other thread.



This a favorite question of mine. I have spent a lot of time researching. Despite all that has been written and said, I believe that fish oil gives the most bang for the buck. Essential fatty acid's fall into the group known as long chain omega 3's. These long chain omega 3 fats are EPA and DHA. Fish oil contains these two acids-in that specific form. EPA and DHA are the only form of essential long chain omega 3 acids that the body can use.

Flax, borage, etc, do not contain EPA and DHA. Instead they contain both omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids. Our normal diet already gives us an over abundance of omega 6 fats versus omega 3 fats.

The problem with flax is that it contains short chain omega 3 as well as omega 6 fatty acids. Since the body can only utilize long chain omega 3's in the form of EPA and DHA, multiple conversions have to be undertaken by the bodies metabolic pathways to convert this short chain 3 into a usable form of long chain omega 6. The conversion is not very efficient, our bodies convert only a very small fraction of short chain omega 3 into long chain omega 6.


Once ingested, the body converts ALA to EPA and DHA.

You're not taking it because it tastes good, so forget about that.  ;)

Erasmus touts all the great benefits of fish oils containing high amounts of EPA & DHA, yet his product (Udo's), doesn't contain them.

That's not entirely true.  Light frying/sauteing is ok with plain 'ol regular olive oil which has a higher smoke point than extra virgin.  BUT, it does lose it's "heart healthy" benefits.  Extra virgin should be used straight for things like salad dressing for the health benefit and taste.  It's actually a waste to use more expensive olive oil for frying, but you're not likely to get it hot enough for it to "go bad".

Also note that a lot of olive oils are being cut with cheaper oil so look for a certification stamp like PDO, PGI, COOC, IOOC.

I use it to make salad dressing as well. Simply don't use high heat. Even if you do, it doesn't make it rancid, it burns it if you overheat it. Clearly it is not a good choice for deep frying. Peanut oil or, like you mentioned, pure coconut oil which is specified for high heat is great for cooking. I've not seen macadamia nut oil in the market. Perhaps at a specialty market you can find it.

Another use for pure coconut oil is as a skin lotion. It will actually heal scars.

Also "using more expensive oils is a waste..."  ??? Not a waste if you're ensuring your oils don't go rancid while you fry shit. That's the reason you use something cheap like coconut oil.

The latest studies I have read is that they can find no proof that fish oil decreases the incidents of heart disease. I know it has been repeated a million times on the internet about it's heart healthy benefits but some pretty convincing current evidence exists that it's not true. It might even be bad for you.

"Quickly" is the key word here. No matter what, when you introduce cooking level heat to it, it is denaturing your "healthy fats." The hotter and longer you cook it, the greater the damage. Hence why it's better to use a more stable oil like coconut for cooking. Coconut oil is cheap as fuck too.

Seems you are right about olive oil. Who knew?...you knew.

"Most people are aware of the amazing benefits that olive oil provides, but the majority of people are not aware of the adverse properties that the olive oil contains when it is heated. When heated, even at extremely low temperatures all the amazing enzymes and health benefits that the oil contains are destroyed, and in turn the oil itself transforms into a trans fat. This is of the worst types of fats to consume including animal fats. Man made trans fats can increase your ‘bad’ cholesterol and decrease your ‘good’ cholesterol.

Even heating olive oil at a very low temperature causes this oil to transform into this unhealthy, rancid state. Olive oil is better left alone, the way it is, at room temperature. Olive oil is excellent for making salad dressings, using as a dip for bread, and you can even drizzle it over your favorite cooked dishes for that divine, distinctive flavor."

I think some of those statements are over-kill and not what the majority of what health sciences believe.

"As far as cooking is concerned, when any oil reaches its smoke point (about 410 degrees for olive oil), it will degrade, oxidize (a process that damages the fat molecules), and partially hydrogenate, creating harmful trans fats. But you don't need to get oil that hot to sauté vegetables (300 degrees) or even to fry breaded items (340 degrees). Although those lower temperatures may damage some of the flavonoids, the loss will be trivial. And by starting with a healthy oil, your dish will still be more nutritious. "

"When you heat oils to their smoke point, their chemical composition begins to change as the oils break down. The amounts of antioxidants found in the oils can decrease, removing one of the oil's positive health benefits. High quality extra-virgin olive oil has a high smoke point compared to cheaper olive oils. The Olive Oil Source states that the smoke point of olive oil falls between 365 and 400 degrees F. Olive oil exposed to light and air will have a lower smoke point. Oil that's already been heated one or more times will also smoke at lower temperatures. Olive oil turns to trans fat only when repeatedly reused and heated to very high temperatures."

What you are missing is that the breakdown doesn't magically occur at 400 degrees. It begins at much lower temp and increases in speed drastically as it gets hotter. It's just completely fucked at 400 degrees.

there is ZERO effect... unless you are a lactating mother...and in that case their is a minor benefit.

if you take it, and believe in it, you are experiencing placebo and have been scammed..

yes I read a similar study saying the fish oil supps have failed to show the same benefit of eating oily fish.

Don't feel like wading through the shit.


There is a lot going on today with nutrition at the cellular level and Fish Oil supplements, especially Krill, Omega 3's, EPA, DHA and Astaxanthin are right at the top of the list as far as "Necessary" is concerned.


Biomedical Science combined with nutrition delves deep today into Phospholipids.


So, in short, yeah, these supps are actually "worth it"


One other supplement that is getting a lot of attention by the Scientific community is Turmeric (Curcuma) taken with Peppercorn.

Depends how you define "worth it"

It won't add weight to your bench, I don't notice anything from it really and stopped taking it a while back, started back, stopped.

I never noticed better brain function, less soreness either.


I think they have more benefits while dieting as you want the most nutrition from the least calories. It has health properties so for that, I should go back on them as they're sitting in the fridge anyway.

If you're on a budget, pfff, forget the stuff, it's not even close to being necessary for producing any kinds of real life gains.

Good point.

My fermented cod liver oil isn't taken to make me more  anabolic, it's taken to make me healthier and quell some systemic inflammation.

When buying oil filled gel caps you have to cut one open regardless of the expiration date and make sure the oil has not become rancid


Rancid Oil is worse than not taking any phospho-essentials at all... very, very detrimental to your health


And "worth it" actually can be defined, but being as Fatty acids are the most complex of the macros, I wouldn't even begin here.


Just Google away.


You will find how essential fatty acids work to build muscle and increase hormone production.... duuuuhhh.. mainly, testosterone


Also, as far as the Eskimos are concerned, this is a statement I have also referred to many, many times, but stick to this one instead: If a little is good, more is not better...

I researched this some after someone posted something about there being a possible correlation between prostate cancer and flax-seed oil. I could not find any definitive or conclusive arguments that support this argument. My doctor's  and my conclusion is that both flax-seed and fish oil is a heart healthy supplement and not something that causes prostate cancer.

Again, if you read about prostate cancer, you'll discover that it is the most common cancer in men. Many men have it, but they die from other illnesses before they will die from prostate cancer. Considering I was almost 70 years old when it was diagnosed in me and that prostate cancer is often a slow growing cancer, I could have lived out the rest of my life without succumbing to prostate cancer. It just wasn't a risk I wanted to take.

I don't know if you could call it a supplement, but adding a few cloves of garlic per day will significantly raise good cholesterol, lower bad cholesterol and significantly lower blood pressure, and reduce the incidence of common colds.

Magnesium is another good supplement, as the average diet is low in magnesium. Magnesium is involved in many functions of the body. It can also significantly lower blood pressure those who have high blood pressure or low in magnesium. It can help with sleep and muscle relaxation.

I began taking magnesium a couple of months ago to lower blood pressure. My blood pressure is better, so it must work.

When buying oil filled gel caps you have to cut one open regardless of the expiration date and make sure the oil has not become rancid


Rancid Oil is worse than not taking any phospho-essentials at all... very, very detrimental to your health


And "worth it" actually can be defined, but being as Fatty acids are the most complex of the macros, I wouldn't even begin here.


Just Google away.


You will find how essential fatty acids work to build muscle and increase hormone production.... duuuuhhh.. mainly, testosterone


Also, as far as the Eskimos are concerned, this is a statement I have also referred to many, many times, but stick to this one instead: If a little is good, more is not better...


Everything in moderation.... EVERYTHING

Absolutely superb bit of advice that everybody should pay attention to.

I have had elevated cholesterol levels for some time, I am not on gear, and have been trying to get my cholesterol levels down for a long time.

I have tried all sorts of changes to my diet and in the past couple of months with no success so I decided to stop taking any Omega-3 supplements. I have been taking an Omega-3 fish oil/GLA supplement for the past ten years.

Since I stopped taking it my cholesterol levels have started dropping, both LDL and HDL levels.

Not only in my case but another friend of mine who had elevated cholesterol levels to stopped their Omega-3 supplementation and their cholesterol levels dropped and HDL/LDL profile shifted in favour of HDL.

I am pretty sure that in both our cases the oils were rancid, leading to arterial inflammation, damage to the endothelium and elevated cholesterol.

I think fish oil has benefits, but I am not confident in the supplement form, so sticking with eating fish a few times a week for now.
