Supplementation with Salmon/Fish Oils

AYung · 01-23-2006, 11:37 PM

Wanted to hear what your opinions were on supplementing with salmon/fish oils instead of just eating fresh salmon.

Fish oil supps are good but i would still try to eat fish as much as i could. Dont completely cut out fish b/c you are taking fish oil supps.

Am I to assume you don't like fish? Or is it the price?

I agree with Warriors, whole food, in many cases (this is one), is better than its supplement counterpart.

It was the price that is my concern.

You're missing the protein from the salmon by taking fish oil caps. I don't know if fish oils are cheaper than eating the equivilent in actual fish though.

Yeah I know what you mean. I guess I can try canned salmon, as it is cheap.
