Flax seed oil V. Fish oil

Eugen Sandow · 04-11-2008, 09:22 PM

Flax seed oil and fish oil are both good sources for omega-3's. It it good to take both these at the same time? If so, how much should I take per day?

I take 3 Capsules of Omega 3,6,9 , its good for the heart reduces the risk of heart disease.

I also buy omgea 3 eggs for my breakfast. I think the daily intake for men should be 1.6g and women 1.1g per day

Fish Oil is better

i agree... just type fish oil into pubmed, medscape... or any other site and its hard to find a negative study on fish oil supplementation.

Fish oils cheaper too

Thanks...I'm more concerned about taking both at the same time. Does anyone know if this okay?

i take both, but only cause i got flax from a while ago fish is better, i take fish during the day and flax at night

I use both. 3000mg EPA fish oils in the morning & 1 Tea spoon of Flax seed oil in the evening with my Casein or Whey shake before bed

its okay to take flax seed, but do not increase ur intake of omega 3s over 6g/d irs harmful

**lil_big_junior** · 04-12-2008, 01:30 PM

^^^Nope it isn't as harmful as ppl think but it's simply not needed at doses like that

1.5-3g of Omega ED are very benefitial for most ppl. 6000mg ED is stupid

Damn! I just went shopping and was gonna get fish oil but got flax seed oil instead. It was on sale. :/

It won't hurt you or anything. It's just not as good. If you're getting in some good fish and such you'll be fine.
