all of this hype is really starting to make me question the legitimacy of these fish oil claims. i've been megadosing now for the past 2 weeks, first at 30 grams and this week closer to 45 grams, and thus far I have not experienced any weight gain and my calories have been up as well. while my mood is improved, i'm not so sure the claims that mega doses of fish oil will solely lead to seroius weight gain are of any significance.
further, that fish oils are a natural anti-inflammatory proves why products like X-Factor, aka omega 6 products, have an anabolic effect. by this black and white sense, omega 3s would technicaly have an anti-anabolic effect.
i don't know what the cox-1 receptor does versus the cox 2 but the anti inflammatory nature of fish oils would make sense for inhibiting substantial anabolism.
not to say there are no medical benefits to high doses of fish oil, im just a bit skeptical on their credibility when it comes to anabolism.
also, what are the exact ratios of omega 3 fatty acids that are supposed to contribute to these near "steroidal" benefits of fish oils? and why fish oils per se as opposed to other sources of omega 3 fatty acids. is the DHA specifically what is causing these benefits, rather than the EPA?
