Hello all,
I had a fatty acid profile that showed severe deficiency of Omega 3s, and a huge excess of omega 6s. ( Quite extreme even compared to standard american levels)
I suspect this was due to a lack of omega 3 sources in my diet, coupled with eating a ton of omega 6 rich sunflower seeds. ( my fav snack, ate bags and bags of them all the time)
I am wondering if this could impact intestinal health / leaky gut, as well as adrenal fatigue problems, both of which i have struggled with. Perhaps via increased inflamation, or any other mechanism.
Has anyone seen adrenal benefit by reloading omega 3 levels?
Are certain types of omega 3s better tolerated?
Thanks
Jeff
