This. I take them every day. I’ve got a close friend who lifts elite level numbers, over double body weight squat etc but his knees are absolutely fucked and swears by cod liver oil.

I hear that there is quite the variance in quality between different brands - what have you used that works/worked?

I use Healthspan Elite Omega 3 Pure EPA 1g

This is based entirely on the advice of my pal. He tells me to look for stuff that has 'informed sport' on it which means its batch tested for shite. You want both DHA and EPA in your Omega 3 apparently.

The common advice is to take enough capsules to get you a daily intake 500 mg of both DHA and EPA respectively. It will say on the side of the bottle how much there is in each capsule.

Cheap cod liver oil often comes from factories in South America where lax routines mean the oil can go rancid in the time between harvesting and processing, so best avoided. Mind you, it's not like slapping a high price on something automatically makes it better.
