Yeah, they're softgels. I take about 4 a day at 1000MG a cap. Got them GNC ones. 90 caps, RM37 after discount. I thought they were pretty cheap.

My friend was like saying the Seven Seas one is about 17,000MGS per tablespoon. Im like ..."That cannot beeeeeeeeeeeee!!"

I wonder what type she's eating.

Measure bodyfat before
Measure bodyfat after

Take bodyfat before - bodyfat after = fat loss effect effectiveness

It was documented in some papers that above a certain dosage, EPA/DHA promoted fat loss.

I couldn't be bothered to look up the specifics. If you're that interested, I'm sure you can pubmed it, being an Elite and all.

Added on February 5, 2009, 1:04 amSounds cheap, but GNC isn't very pure I don't think. A bit of hear-say here and there about the pollutants in them. I don't know very much and I can't back this up right now cos I'm so sleepy. It can be easily found on the intertubes if it's true. I'd get something purer if I could, but your body can withstand a fair amount of dioxins before it becomes harmful as it takes your weight into consideration. Regardless, purer is better. Your body is a temple.

Mine has about 12ng WHO-TEQ/kg fish oil, so you can see how much there is there. It's quite an unpure one but not as dangerous as 37ng WHO-TEQ/kg by Boots Pharmacy. LOL

17,000 mg/tablespoon is huge. That's a lot. Like 17 tablets a day, dayumn

should be this...

based on 2 studies

probs. Enough to substantiate quite a big hype methinks.

Also, after taking fish oils I've been feeling better about myself (serotonin related) and my sleeping hours are more regular than expected.

It gives me more benefits than I initially expected. I'm very happy.

How do you find out about the amount of PCBs in the fish caps?

There was a report filed by the government food administration in UK about the level of contaminants in commercial fish oil products. Also, I emailed the company asking for their level of contaminants and they agreed to send me their report but I haven't seen that in the mail yet.

try using cod liver oil

I give my kids Carlson's fish oil in liquid form because they can't swallow the big softgels yet.

You're right, it cannot be.

One tablespoon is about 15 ml. By weight that would be about 13.5 - 14.0 g or 13,500 - 14,000 mg. It's a physical impossibility to have 17,000 mg of oil in one tablespoon (unless she has an unusually large tablespoon ).

Of course the important thing is not the overall mg of the oil, but the mg content of the EPA/DHA.

I believe this is the webpage you are referring to: http://www.food.gov.uk/science/surveillance/fsis2002/26diox

blackmore have fish oil?

AHA!!!
NSI Mega EFA sounds interesting.

240 gels to last you for four months, if you take 2 daily.
Awesome. Priced at about RM75 before delivery.
EPA 400 mg
DHA 200 mg (1 cap)

But the Jarrow's one seems.....better in terms of value.

About RM75 also before delivery. 1 daily is sufficient. EPA/DHA about 420/210. That'll last me for about....240 caps / 30 days ..fuyoh. Eat 1 a day, for 8 months at about RM100+-.

Cunted lah wei. JARROW IT IS FOR ME!

Yes. You can find it at pharmacies.

It's a very old survey though.

Hi all,

I am taking Kordel's Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil. It's very good and I have been taking it for years now.

There's always promotion going on... as we all know economy is not good and taking fish oils is long term We need to look at ones that is good and economical.

Kordel's Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil is only RM 85.90 for 150 capsules. That's a good deal... and you can get some discount from Caring Pharmacy as well.

Try to take Sesame Oil (Raw or cold pressed )
you can googled it for more info

guys

is the oil from grilled salmon can be consume like that ?

Grilled salmon? Normally the oil is extracted from raw salmon.

Nolah.. the oil is extracted from fresh salmon.

Once grilled, the fish will be dry lo.

Also, grilled oil is bad for health as the heat destroys the oil.

Just checked from farmacy, Pristin Big pack (2x150+1x30 gelcap) selling at RM280 ~0.80 per cap.

Wandering if this local brand Pristin is okie..? Compare to Kordel, Bio-Life, Blackmore brand that we can get locally?
