bump would also be interested in knowing this. I take HFS EFA's at night and was wondering if one dosage if this was enough for a long time.

Daily consumption of fat is based upon your caloric needs. Many recommend 25% of your total intake be from fat. Efa's are a great source for this. The min for individuals, and this is on the low side, targeted more towards non bodybuilders, but is the min suggested, is about 13g of O3, 7g of O6, and 6g of O9. Again, I stress this is the min recommended and targeted more towards non lifters.

the total fat from that supp is only 1 g? what the hell is that going to do for you? that is honestly no where near what you need. something around 14g-16g per serving sounds about right.

yea, udos oil is great. can just mix in w/ your shakes, even gets it a creamier taste. has about 14g/tbsp. just take 2-3 servings a day, on top of your caloric intake from food, youll get more than enough.

Thx, for the reccomendation. I looked that up on several web sites and it seems to be some really good stuff. The only thing I am unsure of is that it says it has a nutty taste?? I am allergic to all kinds of nuts. Wonder if the nutty flavor is actually from nuts, do u know?

It looks like the best way to go is liquid form. I went over to the health food store and they actually had Udo's. I bought some so i am gonna start using that instead of having to take a gazillion gel tabs.

glad to hear it. youll get much better results in much less intake. 1 tblspn is like 14 caps or some sh** not sure bout the nut content though, may have to look into that.
