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.

Funny you should mention.
X-Faxtor comes to mind here.
Said to be anabolic due to its AA content
Not something I would want to do tho.
I hear you andy on anti-inflammatory drugs. My dog has double hip displasia and osteoarthritus.
I give her some very strong anti-inflammatory drug called Metacam.
I noticed she lost alot of her muscle in her hind quarters when I put her on that.
So, yes you are correct in the inflammatory responce to anabolisim.
I am surprised you figured that one out by youself, most people would never notice this.
