EFAs

[Carth]

When is the best time of day to take Hemp Oil? Should I take this in the middle of the day? Or before bed?

Never heard of Hemp 'OIL'


But if its an EFA supplement, you could take it before bed with your protein or whatever you eat that meal to help slow the protein digestion. Its probably not a HUGE deal when you take it though.

Yes, hemp oil is an EFA. But should I take it night? Last meal of the day? Someone told me that this could make me gain fat. Another told me to take it better at Noon. That this will help give me more energy. And burn off some fat.

Late at night like UL said, with whatever the last protein you eat is whether its a meal or a shake. Fat slows protein digestion so its extended release, the same reason you're not supposed to have much fat in the post workout shake. As for making you fat, that's a question I also wonder. Some people pop tons of flax and omega3 but I'm pretty conservative.
