Hello,
Recently Dr Vallings recommended that I start taking Omega 3 and 6 in a 2:1 ratio. The dosage was 2000mg & 1000mg.
I visited several chemists and eventually a naturopath. I have settled on liquid fish oil for the Omega 3, however obtaining the Omega 6 in sufficient quantity is not straight forward.
I'm using evening primrose oil for omega 6, but the dosage at three capsules is not at 1000mg (more like 600mg). I'm concerned about taking more due to warnings about taking too much.
Does anyone have some advice?
And does anyone know of the clinical trials which are relevant?
