Cod Liver Oil?

**Pituitary** · 02-03-2008, 04:15 AM

I currently take 1 Cod Liver Oil capsule but never hear of people taking this. Should I switch to flax seed oil or are they essentially just as good as one another.

Also how many to take a day and when?

Thanks

I was reading somewhere cod liver oil can contain toxin. I think they said it has to do with toxins in the sea like mercury and stuff getting procesed in the liver.

But yeah flax is the way to go IMO. Heart health, helps with joint stiffness, fat loss and many other benefits.

Cool. I will switch to Flax then when I run out. How many times a day do you recommend taking it.

Also, I also have CLA and it says that it is a fatty acid. Does this do the same thing as the flax?

Thanks

CLA is similar to flax, it comes from Safflower plant oil. I believe CLA is higher in Onega-6, while Flax is high in O-3. I usually take 2-3 servings a day, like morning, midday and before bed. I have read alot about CLA being good at burning fat too.
