So I found a website, Barlean's, to explain this better:
http://www.barleans.com/literature/f...ing-fishy.html
When we started EFAs over 10 yrs ago, I used 3 of them.
1) flax oil
2) evening primrose
3) fish oils (later getting the high DHA version for my son)
I found that the evening primrose (or borage) is not that necessary after time so we dropped it. I don't recommend it anymore unless people don't see any benefits to taking flax. It is an Omega-6 and only needed in small amounts.
I do recall 2 people on the old old format OBT on the Tourette's board who had fatty acid analysis tests done on their children, and found very low levels of GLA and who had to take primrose/borage.
