Thread: Can anyone recommend a good fish oil brand?

May I trouble you fine folks in recommending a good fish oil brand.

I am steering clear of flax oil due to a connection with cancer or something like that, I am not saying this is true just something I heard from a couple people here.

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.

I take Theragran-M that I get at walgreens. It's $15 for 200 1200 mg caps.

is fish oil worth it?

lol if itll help ill tolerate the taste unless its just downright disgusting

man nothings ever sounded so tasty hahaha ewww

The list of benefits of fish oil are much more than I can memorize.

Yes! In fact, the more I read about it, the more I believe fish oil should be the first on everyone's list of suppliments.

Get a brand that it enteric coated.

The Theragran-Ms I mentioned above are such a type.

Ya, id never rly heard of fish oil till this board, what exactly does it do? Does it contian tons of vitamins and nutrients? Does it help add bulk and muscle? or does it help with weight loss?

Just curious, thx

Thanks for the help all, I will actually be trying out FLAMEOUT from biotest as my first fish oil endeavor.

macc_attack here is a link that will give you info on what fish oil can do

Testosterone Nation - FLAMEOUT!

That is also the fish oil I will be purchasing, I just hope it doesn't burn my wallet as I have to buy my supplements (excluding multivitamins as pharmacies provide just as good ones) from GNC.

I'd recommend NOT buying flameout until you've done a thorough cost analysis. It just seems that $25 for 88 caps is not worth it.

Thanks for the extra advice Cynic, and I couldn't find flameout anyway (The GNC I went to even said "does that exist?")

Anyway, I need help again. Does anyone have anything besides Cynic's Thermagran recommendation?

I would rather have enteric coated capsules instead of oil or something to avoid the burping...yech

Does enteric coated brands say "enteric coated" on the bottle? or is it a guessing game?

I recommend Nordic Natural, Carlson, or Escimo brand by Enzymatic Therapy. If yer tasting fish...it's rancid and should be avoided.

I typically do a teaspoon of Nordic Natural's cod liver oil AM and before bed and then I do the individual Coromega fish oil orange flavored squeeze packets with each meal.

I don't know anything about the brand Cynic is talking about so I can't comment to its qaulity.

The Theragran-Ms are enteric coated caps.

Nutrilite, one of the companies producing products for Quixtar, has extraordinary purification and processing facilities, and they make a top notch Omega 3 product. They also have a great sports nutrition line.
