I take one of each & an evening primrose cap - I normally space them out though.
Flaxseed cap with breakfast, the other 2 with my PWO meal.

Im not taking flaxseed now. I am taking fish oil supplementation. I take the same amount everyday regardless of training or non-training days.

I did read somewhere that the fish oils are quite superior to the flaxseed oil.
I have a big jar full of flaxseed caps so I'll just keep chugging them back 'till they're gone.

I found this just quickly - I'll keep searching....

Quote:
"The advantage of fish oil is that, compared to flaxseed oil, it not only has a higher ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids, but it also has a better breakdown of the omega-3 components. There are other omega-3 fatty acids, but the two known for the best effects on the human biochemistry are EPA and DHA. These are contained in higher amounts in the fish oil. Ideally, you want the lowest amount of omega-6 (it's too prominent in the standard 'civilized' diet), and the highest amount of EPA and DHA within the omega-3 portion.

"If your polyunsaturated fatty acids are coming from a plant source I'd go with the flax, but I'd try to get flax meal (you can sprinkle it on salads, put it in soups, etc.), even with the current flap about possibly not being good to take if you have cancer (final chapter isn't written on that one yet).

"However, fish oil, to me, is the way to go, especially with the fears about mercury in eating fish. The best fish oils can be obtained without mercury. You'd have to eat a lot of fish to get what's now available in capsules."

This thread is loaded with information about fish oil. It's a great read.

I don't think it matters as long as you are getting 2 caps every 24 hours.

When I take my fish caps I get these nasty fishy burps. Somebody told me to freeze the caps to eliminate this problem. Anybody get these burps and what do you do to combat the fishy burps?
