Q: Are the fish oils in Animal Omega pure?
A: Animal Omega consists of fish-based and vegetable-based oils. Specifically, tThe fish oils in Animal Omega use a special process, molecular distillation, to produce a purer, cleaner oil and reducing the potential impurities such as mercury. The vegetable-based oils in Animal Omega are cold-pressed for greater quality.
Q: When using Animal Omega, do I need to supplement with any other EFAs?
A: No. Animal Omega is complete and comprehensive. It makes EFA supplementation easy—just pop a pack and you’re all covered. Keep in mind Animal Omega was not designed for the weekend warrior, but the serious lifter. If anything, you could double on the "packs", but for the majority, a single pack will be plenty.
Q: Can Animal Omega be stacked with other Animal supplements?
A: Absolutely. Animal Omega is a "foundational" supplement pack and can be stacked along with any of the other Animal supplements, with the possible exception for Animal Test. For best absorption, leave an hour in between the time you take the Omega and any other Animal supplement.
An ideal "foundational stack", a year round stack, would include Animal Omega (EFAs), Animal Pak (vits) and Animal Flex (joint).
Q: When should I take the Animal Omega?
A: For best absorption, Animal Omega should be taken with a meal (like Animal Pak), never on an empty stomach. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, or any whole food meal will do the trick.
Q: Does Animal Omega have to be cycled?
A: Nope. Animal Omega, as it’s a foundational supplement just like Animal Pak, can be taken year round, 365. The key fats found in Omega are absolutely "essential", so you want these all the time.
Q: How many pills are there in Animal Omega?
A: 7 softgels and 1 capsule. All moderately sized and specially coated.
Q: How long will Animal Omega last?
A: 30 packs total. At one pack per day, you’re looking at about one month’s worth of EFA supplementation.
Q: Why does Animal Omega contain flaxseed oil? If ALA has to convert (not efficiently) to DHA/EPA, why include flax at all, as shouldn’t fish oil suffice?
A: In short, yes, the body converts ALA over to DHA and EPA, however, there are many other essential processes in the body that require straight ALA in order to properly function. Fish oil, though it is very beneficial in other areas, cannot provide straight ALA, as EPA and DHA cannot be converted reversibly back into ALA, and therefore a straight fish oil supplement deprives the consumer of critical ALA. Omega provides a balance of the two -- fish and flax -- to ensure that overall EFA intake is being covered and benefits will be obtained from all angles. We leave no stone unturned.
Q: Do I take the entire pack at one time?
A: Yes. Unlike other EFA products, you don't have to take them several times over the course of the day. Of course, if you prefer, you can, but it's not necessary.
Q: What time of day should I use Animal Omega?
A: Like most of the foundational supplements in the Animal line, there is flexibility in dosage timing. That said, staples such as Pak, Flex and Omega are often consumed with the first whole food meal of the day. So remember to take Omega with a meal, and preferably one that isn't high in fiber.
