Go for fish oils - you shouldn't need multivits, other than vit d which is great for the health.

Those are the ones to go for. I go through 6 a day.

Thanks Freefaller, just ordered some bits

How much is that in mg's?

Freefaller · 9 Jan 2012 at 15:23

6000mg (6x1000

).

If you meant Vit D - 5000iu.

I meant the Fish oil, so thanks

It's the DHA/DPA ratios that are more important than anything else.

Yeah. Will be something to discuss this weekend

Always get my ZMA/Fish oils from BSD. Super Omega 3 is bargainous, 2g EPA 1.5g DHA I think is the sweet spot for fish oils so you need about 6/7 of the BSD ones. I tend to take 3 twice a day.

Ones I'm getting are 180mg EPA and 120mg DHA...Better than the nothing im taking currently.

360 tabs for £10.89 delivered

P.S: Thanks for the link, will read this now

Freefaller · 9 Jan 2012 at 16:16

Agreed Chris. Right dosage IMO.

So what i'll be taking should be 'enough'?

EDIT:

Going by my above numbers...Am I only getting 0.18 EPA/0.12 DHA per capsule?

EDIT 2:

I believe i'll be getting: 1.08g EPA and 0.72g DHA each day if taking six capsules....

Freefaller · 9 Jan 2012 at 16:30

Yup. Hence why the BSD stuff is so good. 330 and 220mg per cap off the top of my head?

Yeah, ordered the wrong ones some how. Hah.

Will keep the order, it's better than I'm having currently, and the cost is low enough for me to fork out on.

Should I get more spare money i'd get the other stuff

EDIT: Ah man, now im confused

FYI the ones you're getting cost almost exactly the same per mg of EPA/DHA as the BSD ones FF recommended, so no loss either way! The other ones on simply supplements which have vitamin E in them as well (£10 for 360) work out slightly cheaper.

I take 10 of the simply supplements caps which gives me 1.8g EPA, 1.2g DHA.

Deception · 9 Jan 2012 at 18:33

There's me thinking I should stick to their stated '1 a day'

.. Only kidding, I think I take 3-4. I guess even thats too low.

Dj_Jestar · 9 Jan 2012 at 18:36

I thought I was being daring by taking 2x1000mg omega 3, 2x1000mg omega 3 + lemon oil, and 2x1000mg glucosamine a day ;/

Skillmister · 9 Jan 2012 at 18:46

Mine have 210mg EPA+DHA in them and i take 2 day. Oh dear

Hedge · 9 Jan 2012 at 18:58

Now I normally buy cheaper plain types from MP or BBW but I had the urge to try something different.

Works out about the same as MP True Whey by the time they deliver it to Scotland so Im quite pleased.

I ordered Chocolate Peanut flavour so Ill tell you how it goes

,

Psycho Sonny kinda gave the urge for Gaspari

Skillmister · 9 Jan 2012 at 20:18

Eh the supps i ordered earlier, on MP it says ordered on 8th jan. Hope they don't mess it up

Yeah, I figured it works out for me as i'm only spending just over a tenner.

When these run out i'll go for what Freefaller recommended

Will hopefully have more money under my belt by then.

I was intending to take six tablets...Can you get 'too' much omega 3?

Freefaller · 9 Jan 2012 at 21:11

The only supps I go mad for are fish oils and vit D supps.

There are a few other root herb based ones which are great but cost too much.

Of course protein and EAAs are absolute staple - but again I don't feel the need for them at the moment.

Skillmister · 9 Jan 2012 at 21:20

I found glucosamine helped with my elbow tendonitis so i'm sticking with it.
