o.k. so I have a bottle of safflower oil at home. Is this what I need? Should I be taking a tblsp or 2 a day? Or should I buy some fish oil pills. I have read the diet section and the omega 3 section, I understand that I need these fatty acids just not sure if what I have is exactly what i need.
Thanks alot,
David

Does your safflower oil have omega 3 in it, and what amount if so? If not then go buy some fish pills.

ecle5c is right, you need to go get some fish oil. Walnuts and salmon are other good sources, but the fish pills are the easiest.

thanks alot!!! I got some, will you notice any specific results? I know they're not magic. But other than just overall better health did any of you notice any change in rate of fat loss, energy, anything like that. I know that most things even when good arent really obvious other than you wont die as soon because of your increased health.
Thanks!

It isn't a fat loss suppliment, it's just a really good, easy source of healthy fat which your body needs. I mainly notice that my skin looks healthier.

I noticed some pretty good changes, but I can't say they were directly resulting from the fish pills. I made some other changes in my diet and took a week off from lifting to let my body truly recover.
