She is encouraging me to take a different kind of omega 3's epa over dha in a 4:1 ratio. (1000mg total)They are a lot more expensive but she said they are what is needed for optimal brain health. I am going to look into that. right now I take only one capsule and it has 180mg of epa and 120mg of dha and 60mg of ala.(I know this is not enough) plus a flax seed oil capsule of 450mg of ala and other omegas. When I tried taking more of the regular fish oils it made my skin really oily. So I should take the more expensive concentrated brand. and just spend the money. I will look on amazon to see if I can find it cheaper there. an extra dollar a day is alot when I already take a lot of supplements. And of course I have full bottles of both my fish oil and flaxseed oil supplements! Maybe I don't need to take the flax seed oil?
(I just always have for some reason)
