Oh Yeah, its not your average fish oil! In fact there is nothing fishy about these Omega oils at all. They are a plant based Omega-3, Omega-6 and Omega-9 blend in a liquid refrigerated form available at local health food stores in town. Two years ago I decided to do my own research on EFAs (Essential Fatty Acids) and all my research lead me directly to Udo's Choice Omega Blend 3,6,9. Today you can find fish oil just about anywhere you go, even at some gas stations and of course Wal-Mart and Costco. However, dont be alarmed by what you may be paying for in the end and what you are really putting in your body. People always assume that as a strength coach and trainer that I take supplements and my kitchen looks like a mini version of GNC. Those around me know I take no supplements because I merely see them as (Processed Foods in Containers) and that my body was not designed to break that crap down. Im a big believer in FOOD as the most powerful drug. But this bottle of good eicosanoids with the old guy face on it has delivered some amazing performance and recovery results for me and my clients (the ones that actually listened to me and used it of course).
FACT: (EFAs) are heat sensative and if your oils dont require you to refrigerate them, you will not get the optimum enzyme reaction.
This is such an overwhelming topic so I will be covering more in Part 2 soon!
