No worries *nods* Good. It wont take you long to finish off the tablets. For your next purchase-try hunting around for better quality high potency fish oil. The process to get the fish oil into the form we consume it is important too as some fish oils can guarantee no mercury or contaminants while others do not. When we are consuming so much of the stuff (assuming at least 1g a day - that adds up to 365g a year) it might be something you want to take note of.

Look at post #152. It is a simple educational 'poster' someone put together Also, if you take time to read through the thread you might see some brands suggested you can consider.

I am so getting the one whatdamn is trying Great value and potency.

can find it back in Malaysia? if so, please provide details for everyone's benefit

hi, for fish oil with higher EPA and DHA. so far i able found in pharmacy is Pristin Fish oil which contain 660mg of EPA & DHA. but prices is bloody expensive as it is around RM160 for 150 cap.

So far i now using HSC Omega 3 fish oil, which is Malaysia generic brand of Pristin. around 744mg of EPA & DHA. i buy it around RM100 for 120 cap.

Just for sharing... :-)

what about fish oil in liquid form? that seems to be the easiest way to consume more fish oil as compared to swallowing 50 of those capsules throughout the day.

eh, for those cap, after u taking 2 capsule it already reached 1g EPA and 480mg of DHA already.. taking 2 cap 2 times a day should be enough right?

how much EPA and DHA u planning to take daily? 50 cap really alot wei...

for liquid form i need to search, coz so far i didnt see any yet...

refer to my thread title and original post, this is all about mega dosing on fish oil for the EPA/DHA.

i'm currently on 3rd day of dosing 30+g of EPA/DHA per day. no issues so far.

Sorry I wont be purchasing it from Malaysia. I actually live half the time in Canada (but I am back sorting visa and escaping winter *Brrrr*) so by the time I am done with my current tablets, I will actually be on my way back there and will purchase it then. When I plan to return to Malaysia I could bring a few extra bottles for anyone interested lah but that will be second half of 2013

There are sellers on LYN who often purchase bulk from US, I don't see why they couldn't do a bulk for the fish oil... unless the kastam no let lah. I am not familiar with what is allowed or not.

cool! another malaysian in canada

then, you should have no problems buying them from GNC Canada.

so again i should stress that for those of you intending to try and mega dose on your fish oils, break it up into smaller portions.

on the plus side, consuming the oil is getting a little easier.

i tried with 4g per day for last 2 days. end up explosive diarrhea... zzzzzz

what were your dosage intervals like? also, did you consume them with food shortly after or before?

so far, having no issues like you've mentioned going on 30+g of EPA/DHA.

how about taking COD Liver Oil in liquid form instead? easier to find and cheaper than Fish Oil.

but don't know will overdose of Vit D and A, or not..

i've checked and usually cod liver oil has a much lower concentration of EPA/DHA eventually leading to even larger quantities consumed to get the same amount.

yes, lower than liquid Fish Oil, but higher than tablet Fish Oil that normally only about 300mg combined.
but main advantage of COD Liver Oil is easier to find and lower price.

my main worry is still of the Vitamin overdose.
anyone here taken COD Liver Oil? can share experience?

i think you've raised a valid alternative to fish oil but is the lower price actually significant?

let's put the possibility of vitamin A toxicity to one side and could you perhaps give a price comparison between fish oil (liquid/capsule form) and cod liver oil for the same amount of EPA/DHA?

For those that mention about the fishy smell, just take the tablets in the middle of your meal. I.e. stop eating halfway, take the tablets, then continue eating. If you burp, it doesn't come out.

As for fish oil overdose, my coach mentioned that there were none. So I then to take double for the few days a month during the female moment. No harm.

COD Liver Oil for 1 table spoon is about 1.5g EPA+DHA combined. 500ml for about RM35

not sure about tablet price. but most pharmacy that sell tablet is only about 300mg combined.

Just bought Scott's Fish oil 1000mg. Recommend to take 1 capsule daily but I've taken 2 (2,000mg). Only RM22 for 60 capsule.

1000mg of EPA & DHA or the capsule content is 1000mg?

alternatively, try freezing your capsules.

the only issues with fish oils is that it thins your blood, so if you're on any such medication, it wouldn't be a good idea to megadose on it. the cod liver oil on the other hand has vitamins A and D in them and i believe in much larger quantities, one could possible suffer vitamin A toxicity. i've not looked at journals for a particular number before one experiences this though.

xxboxx,
most likely it's the capsule content that's 1g but the EPA/DHA may be higher than the 300mg total you mentioned earlier.

enix2000,
you'd probably want to start experimenting with 5-6 capsules a day so that your EPA/DHA is around 2g.

Total content is 1000mg
