Fish oil supplents on empty stomach

Hi,

I am always uncertain with certain supplents if I still receive the benefits when taken on an empty stomach. I have done research but with some supplements I still can't receive a definitive answer.

Can I take and receive full benefits if I take fish oil soft gelcaps on an empty stomach.

Can I take milk thistle and receive full benefits on an empty stomach?

If any one knows of a web site that answers theses questions and the site uses scientic data and not some persons theory with no evidence can you please also share the web site.

Respectfully,

Thank you PS- I know Dr Mercols offers a top shelf omega 3 source supplements biut for the time being I am buying what I can afford.

Taking fish oil on empty stomach should be OK. In fact, Dr. Mercola recommends:

"You should then take fish oil capsules. The standard fish oil capsule is 180 mg of EPA and 120 mg of DHA. You should take approximately one capsule for every ten pounds of body weight, preferably in two divided doses.

So if you weigh 160 pounds you would take 8 capsules twice a day. If you have problems with belching them up, you will want to consider taking them on an empty stomach."

Here's the link I found it on, hope this helps: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2002/04/27/fish-oil-part-three.aspx

You can find Mega dose fish oil so you don't have to take so much.

EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid)	720 mg†
DHA (docosahexaenoic acid)	480 mg†

God bless you,

Sandy
