No need to mix fish oil with flax oil IMO, the cod liver oil should give you the Omega 3 and 6's you need.

My only other addition would be creatine, preferably the CEE variety.

jackamo, your chiropractor is talking crap.

Flax seed oil provides the Omega-3 Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA) - the body then produces EPA/DHA from this (as found in cod liver oil) - hence Flax is less refined, and provides the base fuel for this conversion.

Additionally it provides Omega-6 (Linoleic Acid), which in turn is converted to GLA.

In summary flax is far superior to cod liver oil.
