Review: GNC Triple Strength Fish Oil
Most well-informed athletes and trainers recommend supplementing with fish oil, “the most important supplement ever.” I’m supposed to take 9.25g of EPA/DHA per day based on Robb Wolf’s suggested dosage of 1/2g per 10 lbs of bodyweight (18.5 * .5 = 9.25). With the 900mg in each one of these triple strength capsules, that comes out to about 10 caps a day, much fewer than with most fish oil pills. I’ve been taking 4 with breakfast and 4 before bed since I eat a lot of nuts and omega-3 eggs and that’s really all I can bear to take.
Since I upped my dose (I used to take 1 pill a day, thinking it was enough!), I’ve had a few unpleasant fishburps. If these continue, I may have to look for another solution to get my omega-3s.
Always check GNC.com before buying these because there’s always some kind of discount or deal going on. I recently bought 2 bottles of 120 pills (which turns out to be a 30 day supply at 8 pills/day) for around $40, substantially less than ‘list price.’
Update: I made the switch to The Very Finest Fish Oil (lemon flavor) from Carlson Labs and I definitely prefer it. Taking a shot of liquid every day is much easier than downing 8 big pills every day.
