Hi Henry,
I'm taking an oil blend called Udo's Oil Blend. I took it back a long time ago and felt terrific. But like most things, I forgot what was helping me feel so good, so I stopped taking it, thinking I didn't need it. I am now back taking it daily.

From the website:
Research shows that EFAs can improve various biochemical and physiological reactions in the body and enhance athletic performance. When present in adequate and balanced amounts EFAs will:
• Improve stamina and endurance
• Decrease recovery time and inflammation after exercise and competition and speed the healing of injuries
• Improve protein and amino acid utilization to help build and maintain lean mass
• Decrease fat storage and production and increase metabolic rate
• Improve oxygen uptake and utilization
• Optimize glandular function
• Decrease arthritic joint pain and strengthen bones
• Improve circulation and immune function
• Promote sleep and elevate mood
• Heighten reflexes and concentration
I take 2 tablespoons a day, that is what is recommended.
