Health benefits of Fish Oil?

[warriorfan707]

Why is it that everyone is all up on fish oil's nuts these days? "Its a miracle", "It prevents cancer", "Its good for your heart" blah blah, at first I dismissed it, but Ive come to the realization there may actually be something to this.

Thoughts gentlemen? Anyone take this stuff?

[Shortstop]

I've never taken it. Perhaps it aids in digestion?

[THEGREAT30]

I'm sure the benefits are listed in a lot of places other than SBR's forums. I take it my mom told me it was good for the cardiovascular system, the heart and shit you know

[tltaylor89]

(Pill FORM only) you have to have balls to drink the liquid version

[warriorfan707]

Of course the health benefits can be found elsewhere what I was looking for was testimonials from peeps who have experience taking this crap and seen firsthand benefits as fair as mental clarity, energy levels.

This stuff is supposedly amazing and literally helps everything you can imagine... It has been known to combat depression, help people recover from drug addiction, just to name a couple things

I take various supplements throughout the day. I used to take Fish Oil in a bottle (just a couple of swigs). Now I take Omega 3 Pills, which give the same benefits. I also take an Omega 3-6-9 pill but may stop because I've been reading that it's not too beneficial and you want to limit Omega 6

I worked at GNC a long time ago and never had any amazing stories of the shit. I have some in the house I will start taking it and tell you if it helps me with depression, but I can already answer that shit no it only helps if you already phuck your mind like its gonna help

I don't do fish oil anymore I switched to flax seed oil a few years back for some reason, regardless 1 or the other should be included in everyone's daily intake, as well as CLA and fiber.

[Masu485]

oh and as for benefits, I don't see any benefits firsthand, but they are supposed to be good for your heart, makes the arteries more slick with less chance of clotting or blockage, and it supposed to increase brain function.

I always had a good heart and brain so I don't know if I'd be able to feel the benefits that much. It's more of a 'hidden' benefit

Fishoil rocks

I take that also. Flaxseed

[iceminers26]

I'm telling you guys, do some research on CLA and start taking it. I discovered it about 5 years ago, its good stuff.

[warriorfan707]

I don't even know what CLA is

[iceminers26]

I take that also. Flaxseed

I don't know why I switched the two, I got a buddy that's approaching 50 but ripped as **** and a big gym guy and I think he told me that it was a better option, so I switched. Look at it this way, if I can look half as good as he does when I'm 50, I'll take it.

I am not overweight (6'2", 215) and have been using it for the past 5 years, I just know it helps me maintain, love the shit.

[Shortstop]

I've only heard very good things about flax seed...

I'm 6'1" 185. I know I'm a decent size, not to skinny/not to heavy. The extra inch provide for the extra 30 pounds? Or you solid muscle?
