	2006/08/15, 09:13 AM DNA it has a lot of good benefits..I dont even remember them all to tell the truth....once in a while some study pops up showing some extra benefit of fish oil... I suggest it becuase it helps spare muscle during stressful conditions or dieting....but it does so much more from preventing wrinkles to helping against developing heart disease...
	2006/08/15, 09:16 AM I also highly suggest you take it DNA ...if I remember correctly, u were trying to lose weight in another thread...if that's the case then u should definitely take at least 6g of fish oil daily...it will help spare muscle...especially if u are dropping weight rapidly... and trust me we all learn knew things daily...so no need to feel awkward about asking questions...

Extremely heart healthy, and unlike flax, already broken down into its constituent whereas flax is mainly ALA and has to be broken down by the body. Fish oil also is being shown to have a positive effect on fat partitioning, but this is in chronic useage, not acute useage. Helps with inflammation of tendons, joints,etc. (doseage will go up drastically here, but dieting this is a good thing anyway, as carbs are lowered, fats can be raised). -------------- Maximus from Gladiator....Strength and Honor!
