QUOTE(AdmiralG @ Feb 2 2016, 03:09 PM) I wanted to buy as well.. Thought of getting a few bottles of madre labs. Not too sure about the customs. The last time (2 years) I bought quite a few stuff including 4 bottles of fish oil supplement and it all went through without any issue. ur fish oil is for maintenance or for cardiovascular issue? |

QUOTE(AdmiralG @ Feb 2 2016, 03:34 PM) maintenance , or rather for the nutritional benefit as I don't eat a lot of omega3/6 enriched food. for maintenance, u can actually simply go to AA Pharmacy - which they sell quite reasonable price..Have stopped taking the pills since early last year when i finished them, and now I am looking to get them once again. i have to go for iherb for some extra high epa with extra low dha which our pharmacies not selling them |

QUOTE(AdmiralG @ Feb 2 2016, 04:09 PM) I was planning to get this (apart from madre labs) : http://www.iherb.com/Now-Foods-Ultra-Omega...0-Softgels/8341 due to triglycerides.. have to opt for high epa and low dha.. ratio of 4:1.. a good article for read up: http://www.naturalhealthadvisory.com/daily...dl-cholesterol/Yours is quite high in EPA, and i was looking for something that has higher EPA as well. What is your reason for requiring a higher dose of EPA? the fish oil link u shown, this is quite a normal high strength fish oil.. get HSC fish oil from AA - https://www.hsc.com.my/food-fish-oil.php |

QUOTE(AdmiralG @ Feb 2 2016, 04:43 PM) A good read indeed. i'm taking hsc now.. 4 caps a day to achieve at least EPA 1800.. mainly to fight Triglycerides and LDL. -> high triglycerides may contribute to hardening of the arteries or thickening of the artery walls - which increases the risk of stroke, heart attack and heart disease.HSC sounds good, price difference isn't big compared to getting the other one from iherb.  I can't really tell is that amount of EPA + DHA is in 1 single pill or in 2 pills. Can't find the nutritional label on any site. Triglycerides, is it for your heart / Cholesterol or for fat loss purpose? was looking another option to reduce number of caps (i.e. reduce number of oil intake vs omega3 oil) but achieving same/more EPA.. thus i found this nordic naturals fish oil.. ya.. can walk-in to local pharmacy.. buying from iherb has the risk of custom clearance.. which makes me hesitate to order now  + as listed, for hsc oil: (Per 1200mg, i.e. per cap): -EPA (504mg) -DHA (240mg) btw.. fish oil won't help on fat loss  This post has been edited by spreeeee: Feb 2 2016, 05:03 PM |

QUOTE(ripplezone @ Feb 4 2016, 12:00 PM) If eating low SFA, lots of fibre from mixed veg and fruits, low bf%, and regular exercise, I am guessing the potential higher LDL induced by DHA would be an insignificant level to be of any concern? What are your thoughts? as always recommended and advised by doctor, lifestyle (especially foods and exercise) is the main key for healthy cholesterol. with very healthy foods intake and regular blood check-up, don't even think will need to take supplement, perhaps just a normal and cheapest epa180/dha120 fish oil once a day for maintenance. don't even need to care about low or high dha contents.not to be forgotten on genetic factor (mutated gene) as well, no matter how healthy the lifestyle, they still inherit by higher than normal levels of LDL blood cholesterol |
