overdosing fishoils work?

**cherryking** · 07-17-2012, 02:43 AM

Almost every medicine if you take more it works stronger and so do the sides, so would taking 2 or 3 times the recommended dose od wild fish oild, fish oil and glucosamine help your joints more then taking the recomended dose? Or just be a wast of money thx!

It would be a waste of money, more is not always better.

Recent data indicates krill oil is superior to fish oil.

Really...not saying I don't believe you but this is the 1st I've heard.

OP, I take fish oil with almost every meal...I don't think you can overdue it as long as you have a pure product (I use Carlson's liquid fish oil)

I was taking the recommended twice a day glucosamine and still had some shoulder pain. I upped it to double and sometimes triple that and my shoulders feel much better. Not completely sure the glucosamine was the reason but I like the results.

I take 4g's of fish oil a day along with everything else. i have noticed a little bit of a difference with my joints.

If Krill Oil is superior, Costco sell's giant packs of it in their nutrition section.

Your skepticism is justified. I've been using fish oil for years but recently heard about krill oil and its superior benefits. Additionally a lot of commercial fish oil supposedly has impurities. I'll PM you some info on krill oil. As of this week I've dropped fish oil for krill oil. Some of the BBs at my gym stopped using fish oil and changed to krill oil a year ago.

Out of curiosity, why do you take fish oil? For what benefits specifically?

Check amount of krill oil. Each tablet should at least be 1000mg. Anything less is too little.

Your body is only going to absorb so much and pass the rest.........I have also heard krill is superior and many ways but 3x the price also.

Is that 4g of fish oil or a combined total of a fish, flaxseed, borage oil omega 3, 6, 9 complex? just wondering becuase that what I take and itequals to 3.8g in two gel caps a day.

Honestly I can't remember how much it was, but from memory I don't remember the individual pills being all that big.

I personally use SAN Triple Strength Fish Fats.

fish oil is a food, not a medicine. whatever your body can't use, will be excreted.

Yeah would love to read some info on Krill oil, so PM me some info or just include it in this thread when you get a chance. My main purpose in supplementing w/ fish oil is because it is a great efa which also helps lower cholesterol (bonus) and also helps lubricate joints (another bonus).

I take 6 fish oil caps a day, I have read that it has many benefits and it is cheap enough to keep on my supp routine, but I can't see myself switching to krill, I don't see how the benefits could be so much more superior that it would warrant the much higher price tag
