Fish oil caps

[mister69]

I bought fish oil caps on sale a while back and have lots of bottles, I bought it for the fact that it helps my joints etc. I take in olive oil with my protein shakes and it wokrs well for putting on weight along with force feeding. I have fish oil caps at 1000mg per cap.

I am just not sure how i am going to work the efa's out cause i take in olive oil already.

How many caps should i take daily?

 

[StoneColdNTO]

10 - 15 /day

10-15 grams daily?

 

[StoneColdNTO]

Yes, there's only 9 calories fat per capsule. I'd take way more but I also take flax oil.

Just to be clear, even one fish oil capsule/day is beneficial. It isn't like you need 10-15 caps to get any benefit. But 10 caps is more beneficial than 1.

You want to get 3-4g epa/dha a day for full benefits tyically capsules contain 180mgs EPA 120 DHA so about 12 capsules a day

so there would be nothing wrong w\taking fish oil caps along with my olive oil in my shakes?


Also is it best to take the fish oil caps w\a meal?


thanks

I take 3 fish oils with every meal but use only olive oil in my shakes, So I get in about 12 caps myself. Also take metamucil 3 times a day to help with any gas.
