    Fish oil or Flax oil

    I was woundering which would be better to take fish oils or flax seed oils. I dont really know anything about either of them I just no there good to have in your diet. And when would be the best time to take them.

    Another quick question it might be stupid but where can you get dextrose I searched for it and couldnt find it on gnc and sport nutrition depot websites.

    I used both types of oil. They are both beneficial.

    I believe a compnay called NOW makes Dextrose. I just buy mine from a winery or any Beer, Malt and wine producing store would have it. I found it actually cheaper there

    I like to grind my flax seed. It is filled with protein and EFA's and fiber (1/4 cup = 11 g fiber, 24 g protein, 14 g fat, and about 240 kcals)

    Dextrose is fancy for sugar, bro. Buy a 5lb bag of it anywhere.

    Fish oil, flax oil. Not gonna be a huge difference.
    I would personally just go for a full 3-6-9 blend. That way you are getting your ALA, EPA, DHA, GLA, LA and OA.

    I personally rotate between using flax and a full 3-6-9 blend in my night time shakes. I tend to eat a lot of fish so never supplemented with fish oils.

    Never heard of this before. Flax seed oil should be stored in a fridge for about two months. If you can't use all of it, you can freeze half. After some time in the fridge, the oil might get rancid and will develop 'skunky' smell. At that point, throw it out. We avoid rancid oils because they contribute to the formation of free radicals and therefore are carcinogenic.

    Both oils are good - provide ***** 3 fatty acids that have different properties. I use fish oil capsules, flax oil, flax seed (make sure you ground it up real fine or else it will just pass through your system without being absorbed). Both, flax oil and ground seed should be kept in the fridge. Never heat flax oil.
