Efa's

[THE_DOME]

Who here takes flax oil and fish oil. Are they both required, cant you get your omega 3,6,9 from just flax oil.

[Bryan2]

yes but flax still has to convert to EPA/DHA which is what you want while fish oil is already active.

think of flax oil as a precursor to fish oil, like a prohormone...i take mainly just flax, but on off days i use fish oil caps...

[THE_DOME]

[Bryan2]

With my cutting routine I have been taking fish and flax with my protein/fat meals and have been seeing excellent results.
