Let's talk fish oil! There are a few
supplements I will not, could not, do not live
without on a daily basis. Fish oil is one of them! Whether you are an athlete
or not, you should absolutely take yo fish oil!
The health benefits
of fish oil include its ability to aid in the treatment of
various heart diseases, high cholesterol, depression, anxiety, AHDH, weakened immune system, cancer, diabetes,
inflammation, arthritis, IBD, AIDS, Alzheimer’s disease, eye disorders, macular
degeneration and ulcers. It also helps aid weight loss, healthy pregnancy;
fertility and skin care.
As you can see, there
are MANY health benefits for everyone. That being said, does it matter what
kind you take? Yes it does! I don't know about you, but
I seriously care about where I am getting my fish oil.
I
have tried many different brands over the years and
can honestly speak highly of Stronger Faster.Healthier. SFH was founded in
2010 as a division of Maine Natural
Health, which has been around since 2006. They
produce what are known as “neutraceuticals” and the company was founded by
pharmacologists and medical scientists. Even more importantly, the company is
populated by athletes who know exactly what athletes want to consume and
understand their priorities and concerns.

Knowing, and trusting where your products come from should be a must, always.
Personally, I would rather spend a little more money to insure that I am
getting excellent quality fish oil, instead of some kind
bottom-feeder from who knows where...
SFH (Stronger.
Faster. Healthier.) recommends you take 3500mg/day of omega 3 fatty acids in
the form EPA and DHA each day. To do so, you need to take 1.3 teaspoons of
their S03 fish oil. That means for most people it would be appropriate to take
1-2 teaspoons per day. So, if we do a little math: There are 6 teaspoons in an
ounce. If you buy, the 8oz bottle of fish oil, that means you have 48 teaspoons
or between 1-2 months’ worth of fish oil, depending on your daily dosage.
A 8oz bottle
of SFH fish oil costs you $49.99. So, your daily dose of fish oil is
costing you between $0.83 - 1.67 per day. When you combine the price,
quality, and ease of taking a liquid, SFH is hard to beat.
As I said, we carry this awesome product right at CFRR, so if you have any questions,
please don't hesitate it ask!
Now, go get yo-self some!
