Benfits of flaxseed oil/fish oil

FilthyPL3B Posts: 262 Joined: 2006/04/04	2006/06/12, 09:01 AM I take flaxseed oil regularly, but i hear alot of rave about fish oils. Is it worth investing in fish oils if i already take flaxseed? Also, i'm looking for a caffine+aspirin supplement; i assume you make it urself but to what ratio's? Generic aspirin? And where can u get the caffine? And are there any health implications of taking caffine as a supplement regularly? Cheers

EPA and DHA is readily available, unlike with plant sources ALA is the parent and must be broken down. Not all are good at this..... -------------- Maximus from Gladiator....Strength and Honor!

Is it possible to get too much of the stuff? -------------- Dave ---------------------------------------- Eu achei um amor que é bom para mim...

In fact you could probably go a year without any n6's and still be ok. It is n3's we are after. -------------- Maximus from Gladiator....Strength and Honor!
	2006/06/12, 06:24 PM you can start with 100-200mg of caffeine and 81mg of baby aspirin.... caffeine is sold generically in drug stores...the Brand names usually next to it are No-Doz and the like.... start low and see how your body responds to it...make sure if u take it it's in the first half of the day so that your sleeping habits are not disrupted...
	2006/06/12, 06:27 PM ^beware that's only a suggestion for people that tolerate caffeine fairly well(that drink tea, coffee, etc)...and that can take aspirin...if u are allergic to aspirin then dont take it....if u are sensitive to caffeine then use even smaller dosages or avoid altogether... strong cup of coffee is about 200mg of caffeine... also if u choose to supplement, cut out other caffeine sources(coffee, tea, soda, etc)

(many used white willow bark as their aspirin source). -------------- Maximus from Gladiator....Strength and Honor!
