EFA: Best time to take?

[solid711]

Hi All,
OK, I got Nordic Naturals Cod Liver Oil, with Omega 3,9, DHA, etc...

What is the best time to take EFAs?
Pre workout, post workout, etc?

Thanks!

I feel it is best to supplement efas throughout the day with meals... If there was a "best time" to take them, I would say first thing in the morning and with the last meal of the day (before bed, ie. with protein shake or cottage cheese). But like I said, I take a little with each meal to keep a steady stream throughout the day.

hope this helps

Divide them up evenly and dose with meals. Avoid in the workout window.

Why would you need to avoid the workout window?

PUFA's can reduce inflamation and potentially comprimise the anabolic response to muscle breakdown/stimulation induced by a workout.

True, although don't some efas, such as GLA, have a positive effect on prosaglandins which could have a desired effect on the anabolic response??

solid711- Also, fats slow digestion so for that reason alone one should avoid fat intake, healthy or not, with pre-workout meals.
