Generally fish oils are recommended to be taken with a meal.
I know that insulin/carbohydrate is required to drive tryptophan into the brain.
How about fish oil? Is it necesary to take it with a meal for absorption? (The only thing I would see to really avoid would be fiber with fish oil.)
To summarize:
1. Would fish oil be properly absorbed if taken on an empty stomach?
2. If taken on an empty stomach, might the omega 3 fats be used for energy before they can reach the brain and other target tissues?
Thanks...Peace...Saturn.
