are fish oil supplements worth it?

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

[the trainer]

i put 70grams of olive oil on my meals one day

and i ended up with violent diarhea for the next 2 weeks from just that once


fuck that shit

Are you crazy why are you overdosing on olive oil no wonder you got the shits, all you need is a tablespoon of olive oil with your meals.

Eat olives 

[Beckenbauer]

I used to believe in the hype but then I read that it's enough to eat fatty fish once, twice a week for the benefits. It's all marketing hype that u need like 30% omega fatty acid in your diet.

I would like to extend to you an olive branch I hope you turn over a new leaf.

way too much for one meal. Take 3 - 4 tablespoons evenly divided over a full day,.

Yeah, black or green olives

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.

[BBSSchlemiel]

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.

And wash all that fish down with a glass of mercury.

[Big Chiro Flex]

I am shocked you did not give a free pass to the trainer.

Maybe when you actually post a real picture, pipsqueak.

[booty]

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

Good advice!

[kreator]

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

not the same, beter absorption with fish oil than  flaxseed oil, the ALA in flaxseed oil still needs to be converted to EPA in DHA, in fish oil EPA and DHA are already available from the start

Okay. Well then I will still take my chances with Flaxseed oil since it doesn't have that stinky fishy taste like the Salmon oil I was taking. Anyway, I eat a fair amount of oily fish and use olive oil to cook with. That should do the trick.

[SaintAnger]

Fish oil will give you mad gainz, brah!

i actually like the taste,like raw pussy, u should try some krill oil caps and chew them, the oil inside really tastes good but most people just swallow the caps

[heenok]

fish oil works

[anabolichalo]

several universities around the world have done controlled, double blind studies on fish oil and all came up with the same result.

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..

look it up.

great

save coiins

[theyounghormone]

Liquid fishoils are much cheaper and get used to taste very quick or dont notice if blend in shake, my heart feels better when i take fishoils, it beats smoother

[Princess L]

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.

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.

Olive oil loses it's heart healthy benefits once heated.

It may taste like raw pussy, but fish oil is a poor substitute for sex.
