May I trouble you fine folks in recommending a good fish oil brand.

I am steering clear of flax oil due to a connection with cancer or something like that, I am not saying this is true just something I heard from a couple people here.

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.
 
I take Theragran-M that I get at walgreens. It's $15 for 200 1200 mg caps.
 
i know i could probably search and find some benefits but im a bit lazy right now so can you tell me a few..im thinkin bout buyin some now :)
 
Ya, id never rly heard of fish oil till this board, what exactly does it do? Does it contian tons of vitamins and nutrients? Does it help add bulk and muscle? or does it help with weight loss?

Just curious, thx
 
Thanks for the help all, I will actually be trying out FLAMEOUT from biotest as my first fish oil endeavor.

macc_attack here is a link that will give you info on what fish oil can do

Testosterone Nation - FLAMEOUT!

That is also the fish oil I will be purchasing, I just hope it doesn't burn my wallet as I have to buy my supplements (excluding multivitamins as pharmacies provide just as good ones) from GNC.

I'd recommend NOT buying flameout until you've done a thorough cost analysis. It just seems that $25 for 88 caps is not worth it.
 
Thanks for the extra advice Cynic, and I couldn't find flameout anyway (The GNC I went to even said "does that exist?")

Anyway, I need help again. Does anyone have anything besides Cynic's Thermagran recommendation?

I would rather have enteric coated capsules instead of oil or something to avoid the burping...yech

Does enteric coated brands say "enteric coated" on the bottle? or is it a guessing game?

I recommend Nordic Natural, Carlson, or Escimo brand by Enzymatic Therapy. If yer tasting fish...it's rancid and should be avoided.

I typically do a teaspoon of Nordic Natural's cod liver oil AM and before bed and then I do the individual Coromega fish oil orange flavored squeeze packets with each meal.

I don't know anything about the brand Cynic is talking about so I can't comment to its qaulity.

The Theragran-Ms are enteric coated caps.
 
Nutrilite, one of the companies producing products for Quixtar, has extraordinary purification and processing facilities, and they make a top notch Omega 3 product. They also have a great sports nutrition line.

Looked these up. I'm not impresses by the Eskimo-3 brand, but the Nordic looks promising.

I'd have to do a detailed cost analysis, but the the ultimate versions have high concentrations of DHA and EPA.

All these brands carry a high price tag, so I'll have to break it down to cost per mg to figure out which is the better buy.

Oh puhleaze, an Amway product?

I did a look up, it's nothing impressive. In fact, I think it's bottom of the barrel.

Pretty anemic on the FFAs.
 
Here's a page comparing the nutrient content of many, but not all.



Two problem with this:

1. It says per unit, but I'm not sure if that's per cap or per serving size (some serving sizes can be as high as four caps).
2. It doesn't list MSRP.
 
The three things to look for in a fish oil is this: First, Molecularly Distilled. Second, Pharmaceutical Grade. Third, Third Party Tested.

Nordic Naturals have all three attributes. They have been molecular distilling their oils longer and better than any other brand. In fact, when studies are being done to determine the effects of fish oils on the body, most research bodies will use Nordic Naturals.

In addition, whether you take the liquid or the capsules, they are actually quite pleasant tasting (IMO). They add natural flavours. You will not burp up a "fishy" taste....Pete
 
One more thing: Plant oils such as flax are not bad, and can be added to a diet regime along with fish oil. It can provide some benefits over fish oil.
