Fish oil…

[Shaun Hutchinson-Lawson]

I am currently taking the soft gel fish oil which is is a 1000 mg per pill. On the container it states to not to take more than one a day. With Kiefer's recommendation of taking 15g a day, I wondered would it be OK to take 15 of these pills? And how would a person take them(timing)?

[earlyriser]

I am not sure of Kiefers recommendation but I know of others like Poliquin that say it is best to spread them out.Also in Biojacked 2 the guest said he takes more fish oils when he consumes more Omega 6 containing foods.

i thought kiefer suggested aiming for 5g of DHA/EPA combined. So it depends on the quality of your product.Not all fish oil is the same.  Poor quality fish oil uses cod liver oil and its concentration of omega 3 is low.

True.Look up the amount of EPA/DHA in the product. With the fish oil I take, I need to take 5 caps to get about 1.5g of omega-3s.

Many of the Omega supps out there are dosed like this.The one's I use are the same, I usually take between 5 to 8 caps per meal, coming out to around 5 to 6 grams per day.

yep, i think mine come in at 450mg combined EPA+DHA a tablet. 3 capsules 4x a day – w/ each meal and after my morning coffee

OK, so must of misheard what he said on the podcast. So is 5 g then the mark to hit everyday?

I believe he says, at least 5g, but I wouldn't overally concern myself w/ going higher. I would first find the highest quality fish oil, and then go from there if you wanted to up the doseage.

At least 4g of combined EPA/DHA more if training.

So 9 grams for ppl who workout, Tex?

[Richard Schmitt]

I'm sure 9g is good. I wouldn't push it past 5g to be honest. However I never really heard of any one stating it's bad to go over 5g

[pshannon]

In the “Lift Run Bang” podcast Keifer states that taking up to 60g a day is beneficial! http://www.4shared.com/mp3/bWogZUYg/CNBYE_-_Carb_Backloading_Editi.html

Oh damn! Yep haven't listened to it yet

[Trevor G Fullbright]

I take about 8g of EPA/DHA a day, I'm not sure how much total “omega 3 fat” it is.I've taken up to 15 a day, though that gets expensive pretty quick.

Yeah it does. I had to cut back to taking 6x a day because of the price.
