With regard to prostaglandin inhibition, I have noticed that when i supplement in excess of 6 or 7 grams of fish oil a day, I start to lose some of my size and fullness, especially post-workout, when Prostaglandin formation is so important. Over the years using and experimenting with many different doses of fish oil, I've found for me, that too much fish-oil is counter-intuitive to acheiving the desired anabolic state. My eyes don't lie, and the outcome is the same repeatedly whenever i dose too high on my Omega-3's. The correlation could be drawn with 100% pure cherry juice or ibuprofen. yes they will lower inflammation to a degree but if too much is administered, the decrease in prostaglandin activity then becomes deletrious. In contrast, no matter how much flax oil i have ever used, i've never encountered the reduced fullness and muscle-wasting effects as seen with high dose fish oil. let that be a testament to the inefficacy of flax oil as an omega-3 supplement.

I would bet that a lot of you out there who reduced your fish oil intake back to 6 or so grams a day would allow yourselves to reap the maximum benefits of its anti-inflammatory and hormonal optimizing effects.
