Do Fish Oil caps need to be taken with food or can they just be taken on an empty stomach or between meals too?
DONT take any without food. eating them without food has been linked to some problems, leakeage, etc. just take 1-5 grams with food however many times a day you need
Word. I throw in 3-4g 2x/day along with .6g of Krill Oil/day.DONT take any without food. eating them without food has been linked to some problems, leakeage, etc. just take 1-5 grams with food however many times a day you need
yea believe it or not, leakage of the fish oil from the gut! take it with mealsHmmmm, leakage?
What does that mean? Leakage into the abdomen from the stomach or leakage out of the skin? Do you have a reference? I'm not doubting you but I never heard of this before.yea believe it or not, leakage of the fish oil from the gut! take it with meals
But what does "one pill" equal? Some brands market 500mg of EPA and DHA per pill. Most, however, market 250mg or even 125mg per pill.I take one pill of fish oil with every meal.
I take the NOW Super EPA.But what does "one pill" equal? Some brands market 500mg of EPA and DHA per pill. Most, however, market 250mg or even 125mg per pill.
the stomach problems could actually be from taking FO with little substance. A protein shake definitely does not have the same nutritional density as whole foods, the stomach attacks the fish oil with all its digestive acids and that could easily make you sick. I feel like the more food I take the FO with, the less of a struggle my stomach goes through.The best time to take fish oil or flax seed oil is anytime you are taking in protein, shakes or food. If you only take it one time per day, the best time is before bed with your casein protein. If the oils are bothering your stomach, a trick I have learned is to keep them in the freezer. Freezing the gel pill does not have any adverse effects on the oil, and actually helps it to be absorbed by the body. Hope this helps.
So how much should I eat/take and can I take too much of fishoil?The best time to take fish oil or flax seed oil is anytime you are taking in protein, shakes or food.

This is a loaded question..the big reason being is that the various oils come in different strengths and concentrations. You need to be cautious, especially since too much flax see or fish oil can actually be bad for your liver, and counter productive. Please don't loose sight of the reason to take these oils...that being Ultra EFA, Omega-3, EPA and DHA with fish oils, and EFA Complex, EPA, DHA, Oleic Acid, Linoleic Acid, GLA and Alpha Linolenic Acid with flax seed oil, not to mention both are a good source of the "good" oils we need when building muscles.So how much should I eat/take and can I take too much of fishoil?
I train hard 2x a day.
Thanks
2x on thatIf fish oil is leaking out of your ass, you might want to switch to a different manufacturer. Fish oil is readily absorbable/digestible and shouldn't be making it anywhere near your colon. If it does in fact 'leak' that is a good sign that it is probably not the fatty acids on the label.
I feel like you have to take more than the reccomended amount to get full benefits. I was a 1-3 gram a day guy for awhile and didnt notice any difference. Only when I upped it to 10+ grams I noticed all the results: skin looks great and doesnt break out, boost in test, mood enhancement, faster recovery, etc. There is a little burp action when you take 5g at a time, but I dont really mind.
Yea I got the Kirkland brand from costco. each pill = 1000 mg = 1g10+ grams?
Yea I got the Kirkland brand from costco. each pill = 1000 mg = 1g
so i usually take 5 of them either 2 or 3 times a day
yea its like 400g for $9.69 or something. skin feels more moist, ive had dry skin in the past. its very clear and hardly ever has a breakout, and even when anything does come out its usually gone by the end of the day. ive noticed my skin has a good glow to it since I started upped the amount.Funny you should mention those as I am heading there today to pick some up.
Is it the Omega-3 with Kirkland Signature Enteric Coated Fish Oil?

Dude.... turn the jar over and look at the label. The line that says "fat" on it has a number next to it - thats how many grams of fat you get per servering. Multiply that number by 1.5 for total grams per 1.5 servings.I eat 1.5 servings of natural peanut butter a day. Does anyone know how many grams of fat that equates to?
