Flax oil cannot substitute for EPA/DHA from fish or algae. Someone analyzed the effects of diet on membrane composition and published some equations. I plugged my diet into them and toyed around with what supplements would do. See the attached screen shot.
I could take 9 grams of flax oil and still not be able to get my omega-6 (called n6 in the shot) below 60%. It increases EPA and DPA, but actually displaces DHA.
1000 mg EPA/DHA is overkill: omega-6 drops to 51%. 500 mg isn't enough, since omega-6 is 61%. So I take the 500 mg EPA/DHA and tack on 2 g flax oil to get to 59% omega-6.
Sorry candace I'm a it confused..
In your opinion how do you reach the right ratio of omega 6:3 by way of supplementation? Flax or fish or epo etc etc
Im conflicted as to what flax is a source of 3 or 6 , I'd heard it was 3 then 3/6/9 so
