flax is good... any source of naturally occuring fat will have similar effects.

Pill's are much easier and you won't get the nasty fish burps you get from straight oil. Look for super concentrate ones of at least 400 EPA and 200 DHA.

yazf909 · 09-25-2006, 07:06 PM

how many pills should i take a day to start? god damn this pills are huge

Weltweite · 10-04-2006, 06:12 AM

Linoleic Acid is unstable in light and oxygen

and Alpha Linolenic Acid is 5x more unstable in light and oxygen..

Don't want rancidity issues.. Get Capsules

or at least get a dark amber bottle to hold the liquid if that is your preference.

P.S: Hey DarkFalcon

I'd do three daily with meals. If you take them on their own you run the risk of getting some pretty funky burps. The meals help cover up any fishy burps with whatever it was that you just ate.

Fishy oatmeal burps anyone?
