[rinkerx]

What would you guys recommend?

total 3g of dha and epa

[powercage]

Look at Oximega Fish Oil for a pure and well dosed option

[MasterBench]

I use Nordic Omega 3 Liquid. 2 teaspoons has ~2.6g of epa/dha.

Why do you want that much EPA/DHA per day?

[D3Baseball]

SAN 3x Fish Fats should be good for you.



just under 900mg EPA/DHA per capsule

Great question

[rtm0004]

Great question

just one study but:

"The higher dose (3.4 g/d) of EPA+DHA significantly lowered triglycerides, but neither dose improved endothelial function or inflammatory status over 8 wk in healthy adults with moderate hypertriglyceridemia"

from http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21159789

that said i take 2-3gm epa/dha daily

Never noticed how high of EPA/DHA you guys have in each capsule. Impressive.

This! Great brand... a little pricey but worth it... 2 teaspoons a day and not worrying about having to take multiple soft gels... even of the higher dosed fish oil softgels

Are you actually trying to treat yourself with fish oils or is this just a general effect you're looking for. Krill oil would be a better option to look into if you really need the assistance, its a little pricier but you also need lower doses and if you have a medical condition it would probably be worth it.

If you're just looking for a supplement to benefit then you could low dose the krill oil or stick with 2g/daily FOs. Krill Oil>>>Fish Oil though

Triple strength fish fats from SAN
Ultra omega from NOW

Just general benefits but want to stay around 2-3gm, the one time I've had my cholesterol checked, my TG's were elevated >400. However I attribute this more to the fact that I wasn't in a fasting state but better safe than sorry

Kind of like taking a vitamin a day - worth it to me even though I prob pee a lot of it out

plus trying to get those 30 controlled labs labels - haha

Oh I gotcha. IMO multis are a waste of money, fish oils might have their place but I don't use those either. Unless by vitamins you were referring to one specific that you know to be deficient in otherwise just having a bunch of deficiencies is rare

yea,

I know most of it can be a waste ounce of prevention pound of cure type stuff

If you truly want to prevent any deficiencies then just make sure you get a decent variety of foods in your diet and you'll honestly likely be ok. You can use online databases to tally up your average micro/macro intake and see where you end up. It will save you money in the end and help you isolate any problems and this way you'll actually know where you're at.
