going to buy EFA's, I'd like some help from you guys...

[kentucky]

I am on a ckd, so eating alot of peanut butter is out of the question.

So I'm going to buy some EFA's, and was wondering what you guys recommend...

Do I need Flax AND fish oil or what will suffice?

I'm not going to order anything, I'm just going to go to some health stores and wal-mart, etc...(if I can get by with that).


What do you guy recommend for all 3 efa's?

i'd get both to derive from the benefits of flax oils and the EPA and DHA in fish oils.
If the flax oil has ALA in it then the body can conver these to EPA and DHA but not in the amount you'll require

Well first of all, if you want or need pb, substitute it for natural pb cause is doesn't contain the hydrogentated crap.

Second, i suggest using Udo's oil blend. Absolutely the best in my opinion. Go to netrition.com and read up about it.

i hear udo's is good.

I use Udos, it's the best out there compared to other flax oils cos its got alot of other good stuff.

The best brand of flaxseed oil is Barleans, it should be in the refrigerated section of the store. would not recc cheaper brands. Carlsons is an excellent brand of liquid fish oil, it has a nice lemon flavor. Again I can't recc the cheaper brands. Does make a difference. You get what you pay for. Could use both on a keto or whatever diet.

My flax has:
Omega 3-8g (51%)
Omega 6-3g(14%)
Omega 9-2g(16%)

Would I be better of adding fish oil, or olive oil?

if so what should I look for?

I've said this a 1000 times...just get flax seeds (theyre cheaper) and grind them up in a coffee grinder.

half cup has 240 calories, plus you get the benefits of fiber and you know its fresh.

I have flax seeds, but I don't know what to do with them... it's all I can do to take 2 tbls per day... What can i do with them ( on ckd mind you)
