Any of you guys know a reliable source for these.I hear Seacod cod liver capsules are good.Gimme your suggestions and also price if possible. :blush:

2

Are these not available in nearly every pharmacy? o_O

3

used to take 7 seas cod liver oil. Its available in most pharmacies/ general stores.

4

u’ll get it at places which sell supplements, i used to take em while i was gymming.. omega 3 is available locally. just find a shop locally which is genuine. or u can always take 7 seas

5

I know they are available.I want to know if there are better ones.I’ve read a few places that Salmon fish oil is the best among everything.Made some research and read some bad reviews about Amway selling these at insane prices.

I heard Netrogena(or something)'s fish oil capsules are more preferred than the regular seacod capsules.Is that true?I guess Rockafella would know about this.

P.S:drugstore.com - drugstore.com

thanks Tron05 and toxicdrift.But which pharmaceutical company is the most preferred.I am sure I’ll find quite a few companies, so just want to know which is the most preferred. :slight_smile:

6

Are those pills really useful or is it just snake oil??

7

Will such products be marked “non-veg” with red mark?

8

raptor get the ultimate nutrition one.. its the best. comes round 575 / 600 bux.

and tech hunter. yes .. the indian importers usually have it marked with a red dot! and its pretty obvious fish oil = non veg! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

If you are looking good veg source for Omega 3, then look up Flaxseeds.

10

y not just have grilled fish all together ?

11

Nilgiris (in Bangalore) sells flaxseeds. I read somewhere that flaxseed is used by bodybuilders as a good source of omega-3.

12

@hacker,
Snake oil?:huh :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: ude.. I hope u meant it as a joke.

@toxicdrift,

thanks.I’ll look for it.How many capsules does one get for 600 bucks.do let me know if you already know a place in Bangalore. :blush:

@coolraghav,

Dont have a grill or a microwave as of now.moreover buying fish, cooking it daily is sorta cumbersome for me as of now.It might save more when I ahve a microwave.:slight_smile:

13

^^ And on top of it, omega-3 fish oil is not found in most river or fresh water fishes, so it will be very expensive to buy salmon or tuna too on a daily basis.

14

I had got a huge tin of Omega 3 fatty acid capsules. I took them for about a week and stopped because of the side effects.
This doesnt go well with everyone so please check before you start taking them.

15

I saw a brand @ a chemist, will update here.

16

What do these capsules do :ashamed: ?

17

Omega-3 fatty acid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

@ OP
Have you consulted a nutritionist ( not your doc) ?

19

What side effects?
@geek anish,

No dude.

Though O3 are food supplements, i think you should talk to a nutritionist ( atleast a doc, recommended MD Med.). He/she can advise you according to your needs and allergies ( and O3 complementing supplements)

Also not every O3 product is same. there can be a difference of chalk and cheese.

BTW Myself is a Nutrition Consultant.

@ Raptor
On a lighter note, worst side effect( which can disturbing your social life) is Frequent Burps with Fishy aroma. :slight_smile: :slight_smile:
