Fish Oil

That's an excellent indication of heavy metals present in the oil.

Get your hands on "Carlson's Finest". It's bottled in Norway, passed many stringent tests, Heavy metal free, Vit A&D free I believe.

It's the best shit, Flavour award 2008 for the lemon.

I consume 27-30G/day. That would be 27-30 pills hah. Never a Gastric issue.

I just bought a litre of this Carlsons Finest... same sort of aftertaste as sardines IMO. Why do you take so much though?

who loves the fish burps?

Bump.

I'm thinking about adding Vitamin D to my daily Fish Oil intake, anyone else do this? I read somewhere awhile back that at my age (early thirties) vitamin d is produced less as you get older, but not sure if it it would benefit from it as I take Fish Oil now. Any thoughts?

I started taking 3 pills a day in the spring, and still going strong. I don't notice any kind of difference though, not sure if your supposed to notice a difference or not.

I take a small spoonful of Nutrasea daily. Any more and my hair and body gets pretty oily. I'm not a big guy and don't need as much. Definitely helps with joints!

[sabad66]

I take 6 of these every day:

Not too expense at approx $35 (after shipping) for 1000 gelcaps

Consumer reports did some lab testing of a bunch of top brands - Nordic Naturals came out on top.

Nine brands passed all quality measures tested, including:

Spring Valley Omega-3
Finest Natural
Walgreens Omega-3 Concentrate
Barlean’s Organic Oils EPA-DHA
Nature Made 1,200 MG
The Vitamin Shoppe Meg-3 EPA-DHA
Carlson Super Omega-3 Gems
Norwegian Gold Ultimate Critical Omega
Nature’s Way Fisol

Nordic naturals, unlike a lot of these, met a bunch of quality measures, though they couldn't compare it exactly with industry standards because it has lemon oil in it (?)

The biggest things the study recommended:
-Look for companies that disclose their results for testing for environmental contaminants (most won't, GNC are particularly bad for this)
-Look for supplements that have third-party verification, such as USP.
-Bite into the capsule to make sure it tastes fresh and not “fishy.”

here you can get results on exposure to environmental contaminants for some of the brands.

Where is the cheapest you guys have seen for Carlson fish oil? It's 59.99 for the 500mL on well.ca which I'm not sure is a good price or not vs. just buying locally. If it is, I'll put a group buy together for anyone that wants something from that site.

I get mine from vitacost.com

USANA multivitamin, vitamin d, and Carlson fish oil. I swear by the 3! Take it everyday!

[Tej.S]

Why care so much about the brand? Unless there's a significant difference between them, I wouldn't worry about it. Just get any that isn't too pricey(if that's what you're looking for). Or you could save the money and just get your omega 3's, 6's, etc from food(eggs & tuna?). Same thing goes for glutamine, brand isn't really necessary. I've only ever bought glutamine separately once(ALLMAX brand), and although I did notice a difference, I didn't really "need" it.

I bought a bottle of kirkland brand on a whim, thoughts? It says take three a day, what is gained by upping your dose?

You can't buy items that have more than "100 servings" it won't cross the border. I got my order confiscated...pretty shitty. Hahaha I didn't even know I couldn't because I ordered the fish oil before. Still haven't gotten my money back because if they don't ship it back to vitacost I don't get my money back haha. I emailed them asking why my order has taken so long (about a month and a half for a max of "21 business days shipping" so I emailed them and they told me about the restrictions Canadian laws just put up)

You gain the ability to breath underwater.

Or, in your mom?

Darkane, why would you take that high a doseage?

Higher Dosage was meant for a low potency of Oil, like yours.

This thread: http://forums.beyond.ca/st/218876/re...plementation-/

All of those reasons to some form of degree are heightened with increased dosage.

I don't take 27-30G anymore. Something Much higher potency works just as good as lower dosing.

Trying to get my Doctor to prescribe Lovaza still

[JRSC00LUDE]

Now I'm more confused.... Haha Is there any benefit to the one that I bought then and how much should a regular joe be taking? I don't workout at all but will likely start 2x a week cross fit type thing for the rest of winter.

I'm 6' and sit just under 222-225 all winter doing nothing and am a
constant 215 in bmx season.

"Something Much higher potency works just as good as lower dosing." This statement isn't clear to me.

Thanks.

WTF? So confused?

I ordered 2 bottles of Carlson's 500ml on Nov 26th and got it last week?

[JRSC00LUDE]

What would the major difference be between the carlson and their "house" brand Darkane/max? Beyond the price....
