I got a lot of really nice schwag from FitBloggin’ 12 sponsors all packed up in a really sweet Reebok bag. Some of it wasn’t for me (like the Erewhon Supergrains cereal or the fitmixeramino drink), but I had folks in mind who will probably enjoy getting those.
But this one?
If you set aside the fact that the jury is still out on fish oil, I think the point of supplementing with it is to actually *take* some. And if two gummies have less than a tenth of a gram of omega 3 (68.5mg) but manage to pack 3g of sugar, I just think you’re doing it wrong!
A serving of salmon, on the other hand, gets you ~1.5g of omega3 (22x as much as in two gummies) in a form that may be more absorbable.
Eat real food!

holy crap…
I know! Even I found this curious/bizarre. Hence the blog post ;).
First of all, how did we not meet at Fitbloggin?????
And second, I got the Gummie Calcium chews and the first two ingredients were sugar and HFCS. Needless to say, I didn’t bring them home.
