EFA's in a softgel cap!?!

[ArchAngel777]

Does anyone know whether EFA's that are found in a suppliment softgel cap are a decent way to get your EFA's?

I have read that EFA's are easily destroyed, so I am wondering if these softgel caps really do have any EFA's in them, or if I am just taking a placebo... Can anyone shed some light on this?

I don't see a problem. I take softgel cap EFA's every day. I couldn't stand downing fish oil by itself. *shrugs*

How many do you take? I decided to get one with Omega-3 and Omega-6 since I do not seem to get many good fat calories. I was planing on taking one in the morning, one at lunch and one in the evening. Total serving (3 pills) is about 1200mg a day. Is that sufficient, you think?

it's 1.2g's a day.... i know a little is better than none, but if ur taking in 80g's of fat daily, 1.2g's won't make much of a difference.

LOL, good point, but I made a mistake, it is actually 3.2g a day. Still, rather small... But, I think that is what most people take only?

I hope they aren't destroyed when they are in a soft gel cap because I have been taking 10 a day during my cut. I could have used those calories elsewhere.

I believe most people take 6-10g (of fish oil at least) a day. I take 10g.

right now because of monetary reasons i'm only taking 4 day, but once i get home and start working, i'll be taking closer to 10 a day (1g caps). And I definitely hope the gel caps work, otherwise i've wasted a lot of money lol

I take between 4-15 a day depending on what else I eat.

from what i hear the soft gels are better because they're less prone to oxidation. i take them for the sake of convenience (work in an office, easy just to have them on my desk and pop a few pills after lunch and dinner). 6g here.
