Fish Oil ?

I was reading about fish oil somewhere and it said that if you stick them in the freezer it will get rid of / reduce the fish burps.

I get the fishy burps from the fish oil 1000's from GNC,  they aren't fishy tasting, more kinda orangy or something like that.  But the studies indicate alot of really good things.  The Omega 3's have alot of great benefits, take them if you can afford and or remember to. 

I don't like the flaxseed burps. Fish oils I have no problem with but flaxseed ones are kinda irritating.

I also stopped taking flaxseed and started taking only fish oils because essentially they're very similar except Fish oils has more omega3s than omega6 (and vice versa), but the human body demands more omega3 than omega6 from what I've been taught.

When do you guys recommend i should be taking these?

As often as you can, really.  If I had to pick one time it would be morning, but you're better off taking some morning and night.  I take it 3x daily, one being in the middle of the day.

 
Yeh thats what i do, only its 6 times a day, 2 in the morning, 2 in the afternoon, and 2 before bed.
 
Fish burps galore, but again i get strong ass ones

Flaxseeds are high in ALA, which is an omega 3.  Fish oils are high in EPA/DHA, which are also omega 3's.  From what I have read, ALA is only utilized by the body through conversion into EPA/DHA, and it is a poor conversion rate at that.  Therefore, you're better off taking something higher in EPA/DHA.

And the ideal consumption rate is a 1:1 ratio of omega 3 to omega 6.  It's just that the typical diet (typical American diet anyway ) gets anywhere from 20:1 to 50:1 of omega 6 over omega 3.


And as far as how much to take, there really is no limit.  I've been taking 2.1 grams of omega 3 a day (that's of omega 3, NOT 2.1 g of fish oil.  There is a difference.) but I plan on upping it to 3g a day if my budget allows it.

fish oils are good for you...i dont know how exactly but they have omega 3's and 6 i think. my dogs like them too, keeps their coats shiny!

i have NEVER gotten the fish burps.  i thought that was a myth... hmm.

i just take 2 pills in the morning with my b'fast, and don't think twice about it.  no taste.  softgel pills.  i bought like 1000 of them at walmart for like 10 bucks.  should last me a good year or so.

I got the same kind, the yellow ones that kind of have like a lemon tea smell?

I take 12 of them at once in the morning with my Animal Pak.

A friend of mine has bad face acne, the doctor decided to pop him full of fish oil, and it really helped him a lot.
