I used to take just 2. But I upped it to 3/4.

There's really no point, though, to take over the recommended amount of fish oil unless you're lifting heavy weight for your size.

Have gone off and gone on fish oil three times, all three times I noticed a difference after a few weeksl

[SydTheKid]

[biggerplz09]

ya, but it's harder to measure the concentration/ amount you take it.

[oneivan92]

Lol @ ->drinking<- fish oil.

[d4mn3d]

Yup, Sam's Club carries an orange flavored fish oil and it tastes pretty good.

HORRIBLE smell though.

[fouad_123]

about 1-3 pills a day .. i'm going to up it though .

[hockeyplaya13]

I take 3 1200mg pills a day. Not sure why you would take more....

[d0ntlookback]

get them down with water, 5-6 with each meal.
fish oil is good ****

[Ensur3]

I prefer Flaxseed Oil,
and i take 3 pills a day.

[kostasthai]

500 to 1,000 mg per day; make sure what you take contains EPA and DHA, both concentrations should add upp to 500-1,000 mg a day (the actual capsule will have a higher denomination in mg as the EPA and DHA are stabilized in other fats). higher doses predispose for bleeding and is only efficient for people with heart disease (1,000-2,000 mg), and/or high blood fats (Triglycerides, up to 4,000 mg). again, if you eat oily fish (salmon, sardines) 500 mg is more than enough. Flax seed is good, i use it in the breakfast and shakes but it contains a different omega 3= ALA that in meta-analyses did not show the effect of EPA/DHA in heart disease prevention. On the other side flaxseed contains lignans and fiber so it is definitely a choice but for additional reasons not as a substitute to fish oils. hope it helps.

whats lol worthy about that?

I drink 7000mg of cod liver oil a day.

lulz. This retard negged me for my comment...

I take 3 1200mg pills a day. Not sure why you would take more....

Let me see...Did I say you shouldn't take more? No. Did I say taking more than that amount is bad for you? No. I said I'm not sure why you would take more. It seems that that is the recommended dose or the most efficient dose, so that's why I take that dose. If there are benefits to taking more, please inform me, I'd love to know. Seriously. But as far as I know, fish oil mostly benefits your long term health, as opposed to short term bodybuilding gains. It's not like creatine/beta-alanine/bcaa's/etc... It doesn't really do much in the short term, so I'm not sure why you'd take more. Maybe if you were huge, like 220+, I could see upping it a little. Just not sure what benefits you get from going above the recommended 2-3 grams/day.

[JOSEF RAKICH]

I take in 0.8g every day through tuna alone, i dont personally supplement with fish oil.

Those of us who take it are probz gonna have a better heart than those who don't.

... and tendons

... and joints

... and blood flow.

... and sex.

Got any info/something to read where it claims fish oil is good for tendons/joints/blood flow?

I knew it was good for the heart, but diddnt know about this?

Have gone off and gone on fish oil three times, all three times I noticed a difference after a few weeksl

It helps a ton with skin and acne, as it helps to balance a normal persons unbalanced omega 6 to omega 3 levels. It can help clear hyperpigmentation (red spots after acne), reduces oily skin drastically, and can help prevent future bacteria and infection from forming in the skin.

Anyway, I wouldn't take over 4000 MG, and thats pushing it. Anywhere from 3,000-3,600 is ideal IMO.
