When is the best time to take fish oil?

[Anaar]

At night or in the morning? Preworkout? Postworkout?

Also is it ok to take 4g total fish oil in one serving or should I spread that out?

[Bubakanush]

I take my fish oil after dinner and before bed. I don't think it matters too much on what time it is taken, but I am not an expert regarding fish oils.

[R3VOLUTION]

after meals. i take 2 at once then one later witth my glucosamines.

[DiMattia43]

i take 1 pill with each meal... 3 pills a day

[ripped2shreds777]

I take it around 1 pm and then just before bed another tablespoon of it with a scoop of whey protein.

i just take it morning and evening with meals. as long as its spread out through the day and taken with food its all good.

Absorption of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid from fish oil triacylglycerols or fish oil ethyl esters co-ingested with a high-fat meal.

Lawson LD, Hughes BG.

Murdock Pharmaceuticals, Springville, Utah 84663.

The absorption of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) from fish oil triacylglycerols and fish oil ethyl esters consumed in a high-fat meal (44 g total fat) by male volunteers was measured and compared to values previously reported for consumption in a low-fat meal (8 g total fat). Absorption of EPA, but not of DHA, from fish oil triacylglycerols was significantly improved from 69% to 90% by co-ingestion with the high-fat meal. Absorption of both EPA and DHA from fish oil ethyl esters was increased three-fold, to about 60%, by co-ingestion with the high-fat meal, indicating that absorption of fatty acid ethyl esters is highly dependent on the amount of co-ingested fat.

Yup, the absorption improves significantly when taken with high fat meals.

I'm hoping ya'll are taking super concentrated (750mg EPA/DHA) pills. 2-4g of EPA/DHA per day is necessary to see the desired effects from fish oil.

[ILPump]

I would say take them with a meal.. I spread mine out throughout the day with my meals...

[timhet]

I take 6 a day. 2 with breakfast, 2 with dinner and 2 before bed with my last meal. Always with food. I try to avoid fats pre and post workout.

is it ok to mix fish oil and flax seed oil ?

[Ronin82288]

I take 'em all damn day if I can. But I at least try to take 1 with each of my 6 meals. 2 if possible.

The more you can balance out your ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6, the better.

It shouldn't, but people seem to break out from the most unusual things. So you never know.
