Recently i've been supplementing with Flax Seed oil, 2 Tbs a day, for the Omega3's. My question is some people say fish oil is better, i know it's more expensive, but isn't it the same shit? Or are there other stuff in there other than what Flax offers? thanks     | ||

Flax seed has the highest ration of omega 3: omega 6, Fish oil is good but not as high a ratio. Depends what your boddy gets more of in your food. Most american diets exceed in omega 6, but strongly lack in omega 3. | ||

However the ratio should be in favor of omega 6, but becaue most dietary fats come from 6 sources, omega 3 tend to be supplemented mor heavily. here's a little think I found. "People are more likely to consume too much of the omega-fl fatty acids than the omega-3 fatty acids. What is crucial for proper health is the balance between the two essential fatty acids. In 1990, Canada's Minister of National Health and Welfare recommended a daily six-to-one ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids for people between the ages of 25 and 49: For men; (based on 2700 calorie diet) 9 grams of omega-fl; 1 .5 grams of omega-3. For women: (based on 2000 calorie diet) 7 grams of omega-fl; I . I grams of omega-3. Remember: We must consume all of the essential nutrients that our body requires. Essential fatty acids in net ion best in the presence of ample amounts of vitamins A, B3, B6, C and E, and the minerals magnesium and zinc. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------ |
