Hi,
Flameout did a hell of a difference for me, icing inflammation in joints efficiently.
Moreover, it has many health benefits and a lot of studies to back it up.
Regards,
Guillaume.

Am I the only one who noticed zero difference when I started taking fish oil regularly?[/quote]
Difference in what? Body comp, cardiovascular health? I have taken fish oil off and on through different periods (strength, cutting, etc) and it’s always hard to tell if it actually makes a difference, but then again I don’t know if any supplement (stimulants aside) actually make a difference because my diet is usually drastically modified depending on the period as well.
For example, if I’m cutting, I’m going to drop my calories and lose fat anyway so I won’t be able to tell if the fish oil is really helping that much, at least from a quantifiable perspective. Same with gaining strength, I’m going to be eating a lot of food and protein and getting tons of rest, so I can’t really tell if fish oil is doing anything.
I guess you just have to hope it does provide some benefit based on the large amount of research on the subject. Isn’t that why we take any supplement?
Digestive aids (probiotics and and enzymes, maybe even glutamine).

Hi I got question regarding supplementation. For someone working part-time and kind of on a budget, what supplement would you recommend everyone should have aside from whey protein, which I’m already taking. I’m talking about the one supplement that is the most effective in physique transformation when used in conjunction with diet and training, regardless of whether or not you use other supplements. Also I’m just asking in general, meaning I’m not asking for a specific Biotest product per se, but just in general (i.e creatine,BCAAs,pre-workout supplement, etc.). BTW i’m currently cutting.[/quote]
ok fish oil and creatine are good answers (typical ones to0) but it all depends on your goal and situation. not to offend u or anything but do you live with your parents?? im asking because unless they’re buying all the wholesome foods you need to see progress, you should spend your moolah on that instead of any supplements. So now here’s the kicker: is it a bulk or a cutting phase your working on? if it’s a cut invest in a fish oil and even coconut oil or red palm oil as constituted by Meadows. read the article on the home page about oils to get a lil more base knowledge. now if its a bulk, shoot toward the creatine or even a BCAA heavy based product like somebody else mentioned. Anaconda is ridiculous at helping gain strength and size IMO but its a little pricey.

fish oil it is then. Does it really matter about the dose? I got the wal-mart 1000 mg brand 180/120 eha/dpa, and I’m planning on taking 4-6 caps a day is that enough?? I weigh about 250.[/quote]
No. At your BW, aim for 4,000mg of DHA per day. So that is 34 fish oils a day: 17 with breakfast, 17 with dinner. That’s why it is a bitch and why Flameout is the shit. 7-8 Flameouts a day = covered (for me).[/quote]
Andy, a question for you: is there a metric you’re using to make this calculation? I’ve not seen a recommended mg/lb of body weight ratio for fish oil and was just curious.
Thanks.[/quote]
From the Fish Oil thread there’s a recommendation:
Based on the EHA / DHA in this study:
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids augment the muscle protein anabolic response to hyperinsulinaemia-hyperaminoacidaemia in healthy young and middle-aged men and women.
Pub Med link:
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/...pubmed/21501117
Martin Berkhan recommends an intake of:
2 g EPA and 1.5 g DHA per day
The reasoning behind this recommendation, along with summary of the above study, is detailed in his May 2011 entry on Omega-3 fatty acids.
