No, you can supplement through pill form. All brands are pretty much the same, because all are filtered by law. Just as i said, look for the product with a 2 to 1 ratio of EPA to DHA. It will list this on the bottle.
They are gel pills, usually easy to get down.

Now what about our little deal ?

Side question to anyone:

Anything I look up on vitamin c says not to excede 1000mg a day. Its water sol right? So is it ok to take 1000mg in morning and 1000 before bed? Or even 2000 at a time?

to answer your question, Yes it would be completely fine and would not harm you in any way. Just, you might want to start out with no more then 2grams at a time. As unless you build up to larger doses (train your body if you will) you might be sitting on the toilet for a bit .
Yes it is Water sol, in fact its flushed out of the system within 4hours of taking it so take it at least in 2-3 (1 or 2grams per doses to start out with) doses throughout the day.

here are just a few things vitamin C does in the body. its well known immune system stimulating affects, and its anti-oxidant protection (its main goal regarding anti-oxident is to protect other vitamins from oxidation), then its "Collagen" building property's. Among many other actions it does in the body.

Any other C questions feel free to ask.

The way I think about it is take as much as you can without your bowels getting too loose It's a personal thing that you have to experiment with.

I'll go ahead and knock out the other question that has been floating around.

I have read that Vitamin C with bioflavinoids is good. What are bioflaviniods? Are they mixed with anyother vitamins or just C?

BioFlavinoids (vitamin P) aid in the absorption of C and protect C from Oxidation. There for in a way they are indirectly/directly involved in the process of maintaining/building collagen as well as they help strengthen the "Capillaries. I have as well read about them being used as Antibiotics.

In conclusion, their main function is to aid C as well as some arterial benefiting properties among many other things that i do not remember .

The LD50 (the dose that will kill 50% of a population) is generally accepted to be 11900 milligrams per kilogram. This means that for a 60 kilo (132 pound) human, one would need to administer 714,000 mg (714 g or 1.6 pounds) of vitamin C in order to to stand a 50% chance of killing the person. However, vitamin C cannot result in death when taken orally as large amounts of the vitamin cause diarrhea and are not absorbed.

I found that somewhere... Does that sound "in the ball park".

So basically as long as you train your body you can build up to as much as you can handel? Are there any other cons besides diarrhea? As for pros, will loading op on as much as you can handel be more benificial? Is there any amount that is "good enough"?

Lol funny little paste.

Uhh nausia and burning pee are also known symptoms of C toxicity but you really do not need to worry about these as you will not be taking dosages high enough for them.

Good enough? Yeah studies show that 5 to 10 grams a day is the point of which we reap the benefits such as reduced inflammation, better immune system and anti-oxidant protection.
Start off with 1gram per dose for a week then week two move to 2 grams per dose.
If you want to take it more then once a day (which it works best that way). Then make sure to keep 3 or 4 hours in between doses. This will make sure to prevent any possible toxicity(its just bothersome not really harmful).

When you start feeling sick, increase the dosage some.

BTW, why are you so interested in C all of a sudden?
