Benefits of Fish Oil and Flax Seed Oil following workouts and in general.?

Currently I just started taking fish oil. I was under the impression and recall studies (article in Men’s Health) that fish oil is excellent for your brain, blood vessels, removing free radicals, and reducing muscle soreness. Focus on this would be muscle soreness and cardiovascular improvements.

I am highly leaning towards also incorporating flax seed oil into my diet.

Currently I take fish oil in the mornings, before bed, and after workouts.

Someone with a background in nutrition suggested I take both at the same time. If also states fish oil is better for cardiovascular health whereas flax seed oil is better for reducing muscle soreness.

I was curious what some of the nutritionally minded individuals in here thought of this.

My goals are to cut stout, increase/maintain strength, and improve cardiovascular health.
