Triple Omega Pills

Hi. I was wondering how much omega is recommended to take in one day? I have triple omega pills (flax, fish, and borage). The supplement facts read:

400 mg flaxseed oil
400mg borage oil
400 mg Fish oil (it says 50% next to it)

The it says:
"These three oils typically provide the following fatty acid profile:
Omega-3 Fatty acids 420mg"

Then it continues w/:

220mg ALA
120mg EPA
80mg DHA
286mg Omega-6 Fatty acids
180mg Linoleci acid
88mg GLG
152mg Omega-9 fatty acids

What does this all mean? How many should I be taking? Three? I am not very sure. Thanks

John


Answer:

John: When you buy a supplement of something you already have too much in your body, you are overcharging or over supplying your body with that substance. That is the case for Omega 6 and omega 9, you already have too much in your diet ( in all modern diets have 20 to 50 times more omega 6 that what we need) and are doing more harm than good by providing more.

You should supplement ONLY with omega 3, which is fish oil, of which we all have a big deficiency. Try to have at least 3 grams per day of fish oil (540 mgr of EPA and 360 mgr of DHA)
