Omega-3
is what you need to consider. Omega-6's are very plentiful in the diet, and the typical American does not need to supplement these (unless they have a
genetic disorder, or are anorexic).
You can get similar benefits from Flax oil taken with evening primrose oil..
since these are converted into the long chain fatty acids that fish oil provides.
Fish oil is mildly thinning to the blood. It is not exactly a blood thinner per se.
If you take Coumadin(warfarin) or are having surgery, then physician supervision is needed.
It is the RATIO of omega-3 to omega-6 that is important. Too many omega-6's are proinflammatory, and stimulate thromboxane, which activates platelets, which promote clotting.
