FA3: The New Fatty Acid Kid on the Block

did i see a Spike skateboard in the back or am i going nuts?

is anyone else having problems with the video???

I’m currently doing the anabolic diet and get plenty of fats, though admittedly not the most healthy ones… Would taking 3 caps of this and 3 caps of Flameout a day still provide benefits while covering my bases? If not, what would you recommend for me? I will say money is a huge factor here, otherwise I would just shut up and take the damn pills… :stuck_out_tongue:

Now a “fatty” bundle pack of the two would be nice though to get me to try it out.[/quote]

Is it okay to take both Flameout and FA3 at the same time? For example one of each with each meal?

I’ve checked my bottle of virgin coconut oil, and on the label it is said that for 100g of oil there is 50g of Lauric Acid.

Does that mean taking 4g of virgin coconut oil gives the exact same ammount of Lauric Acid than taking 6 caps of FA3 (2g) ?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, that sounds right.

Possibly, but you know as well as I do that it depends on the fats you’re ingesting.

That being said, if you’re deficient in a fatty acid(s), one capsule is better than zero capsules; two capsules is probably better than one capsule; three capsules are probably better than two…

Let me guess, it was being ridden by a leprechaun, right?

Nah, you did see one.

All Biotest employees use them to get around the building.

We found that it increases productivity by .03 percent.

Nice work.

I could see myself doing 3 caps Flameout, 3 caps of Fa3, each bottle lasting a month.

48 bucks a month isn’t bad. [/quote]

Will 3 caps of each be enough? I weigh 165lbs, if so that’s not as bad as I thought. I take 6 caps of Costco f-oil daily right now.

so a person could just take fish oil and flax seed oil? Cause iv found a super top quility brand that sells many differnt oils in bottles which are kept in fridges at most shops. so i believe they are fresh, they also go rancid within 6 weeks or sooner if not kept cold. so im guessing they are free of presevatives and modification for shelf life.

so fish oil and flax seed oil, yes?

Absolutely.

That would give you a complete daily dose of functional fatty acids.

Well, sure, but that might not be the most efficient use.

The alpha linolenic acid in flax can be used by the body to make DHA and EPA, both of which are found in large amounts in fish oil.

Still, it’s more efficient to use fish oil over flax.

Even so, this combo still wouldn’t provide you with Gamma linolenic acid, oleic acid, or lauric acid, or any of the other cool functional fatty acids that are in FA=3.

Is there no way they could’ve combined FA3 and Flameout into one product to bring the monthly cost down.[/quote]

wouldn’t that pill be as large as a golfball or something?

I see. well thanks very much for answering. means alot.

Sounds like a good supplement.

I’m really surprised that, under the brief bullet points re: health benefits of lauric acid there was no mention of the following:

Monolaurin is the antiviral, antibacterial, and antiprotozoal monoglyceride used by the human or animal to destroy lipid coated viruses such as HIV, herpes, cytomegalovirus, influenza, various pathogenic bacteria including listeria monocytogenes and heliobacter pylori, and protozoa such as giardia lamblia. Some studies have also shown some antimicrobial effects of the free lauric acid.

Lauric acid is also found in mother’s breast milk and is the reason why nursing is so key to keeping babies healthy; their immune system is non-existent and the milk from the mother helps protect them against diseases.

Or, Biotest could offer a lactating titty with every 3rd bottle.

The list of purported benefits was so long, I decided to limit it to those things I thought would be most appealing to lifters. Of course, I mighta’ thought incorrectly.

Retaining overall health, particularly in terms of fighting off influenza and other illnesses, one would think is of primary importance to the lifter if the latter is even to begin lifting at all.

I am actually kinda shocked to see some Omega 6 fatty acids with the GLA.

Standard ratios way back when were around 2:1 with Omega-6:Omega 3.

These days last I read it was around 16 or 20:1

We already get a lot of O6’s

I believe GLA is an omega-6 fatty acid, so you can’t have one without the other.

It behaves more like an omega-3 fatty acid, however.
