fatty acid supp

either fish or flax oil are great. they're cheap enough for me to do both.

i get fish oil caps at the grocery store and do health from the sun flax oil i get online. :)
 
would it be better to get the oil, than the caps? cause....youd get more fat in the oil id think. the caps wont have any calories, but minimal, id think.
 
yea, you get more bang for the buck with the oil. eventually i'm gonna find me some fish oil and stop the caps :)
 
yeah, im looking for something that has roughly 120 some odd calories, around 13g of fat in it per serving. hopefully with all the omega fatty acids. but if i have to take 2 sources...then let it be :rolleyes:
 
by their nature, a fat will contain about 9calories per gram of fat/oil. Most EFA caplets are 1gram...so you'd have to scarf down 12-13 caplets for a 'serving'...as opposed to a couple tablespoons of oil, which you can take straight, or add to a shake, oatmeal, etc.

Oils and caplets should be under refridgeration and should have a 'press date' (manufacture date) and a 'use by' date for freshness.

Going directly with bottles of oil is cheaper and easier for 99% of people.
 
yes, im looking for an oil, an oil i saw, had roughly the nutrition i said. if anybody can tell me a specific brand that may be better than some others, that would be nice :cool:
 
Carlson's fish oils is arguably the best fish oil out there as far as quality goes. The bottled kinda runs about $20 and lasts 40 servings and it comes in a lemon flavor. They also have it caps.

1 serving contains:
40 calories
4 grams fat
15 mg cholestol
10 IU Vitamin E natural
1600 mg of Omega-3
EPA-800
DHA-500
other-300

The next best is Nordic Naturals and to be followed by Barlean's Omegas.

Corple, I'll look in my store today and see what brands would even come close to what you want but more than likely you're going to have to take multiple doses to get what you want.
