i would say 15g's and above would be too much......... for the average person.

Talk about an easy bowel movement........lol.........

at those dosages(25g), dont get a bad cut.............seriously, your blood may not clot..........

I've been doing that for a couple of months. The only problem I've had is the bruises not going away. It would definitely stand to reason that a cut would not heal properly if a bruise doesn't. Anyone know what causes this? Will my body adjust to the high dosages eventually and compensate?

The best thing about the high dosages is the insane feelings of well being. Mega dosing fish oil keeps me in a good mood all the time.

no so sure your body will adjust sir......

This is about the only down fall i know of mega dosing.......Internal bleeding is a possiblity as well...... I will error on the safe side. I recommend you to lower your dosage to around 15g's (MAX) for a while and see how your bruises respond.

Carlson's liquid fish oil 1 tbsp - very good EPA/DHA standard.

But the question really should be, IMO, how much EPA/DHA do you take daily - as they are the active omega-3 fatty acids of real consequence.

It is recommended that Fish oil be kept refridgerated so that they do not spoil.

I take 10-12g/day NP bulk gelcaps. Have megadosed as high as 40g/day liquid, but didn't notice any real benefits from it.
 


Start by first doing what's necessary, then what's possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

Call me crazy, but I prefer my EFAs to come from more diverse dietary sources. Avocados, PB, ligands, and true fish are my source.

I'll be the first to admit that I am the undisputed heavy weight champ of asinine decisions. Atleast, when sitting on my rock at the bottom, I'll be able to look back and realize I grinned ear to f'ing ear the whole crazy way down.

Animal Omega, one pack a day. I know Ox runs two packs.

If anyone is interested, I'd be willing to part with 1-2 cans...

He's been doing too much enzyme/receptor work

PS Cooked fish can taste awesome if you find the right spice. Go and buy Gourmetmagic: Dean Jacobs from your local store. Try the Scandia Lemon Dill, that stuff is unbelievable, you will crave fish !
