Thanks Mrs D. I have had multiple blood work but mine never shows any real dietary issues. Even in the past when I was so ill and malnurished. I do know I lacked fat in my diet for like 12 years. Anyhow the brand I got is Nature Made 1200mg odorless. The serving is 2 softgels but i took 1. Anyhow per 2 pills its concentrate is 2400mg and of omega 3epa is 432mg and of dha 288mg. So if I took 1 it is half those amounts I assume. Also what were the side effects you mentioned?As for ground flax seed I know that is rich in Omega and I thought I could put it in yogurt or something is this as benefical to the body as the omega in fish oil?It has 2400mg per serving too but the balance I don't know. Its called Bobs Red Mill Flaxseed Meal. I hate popping so many pills so I thought this could be an option. I just don't want a problem with too much so I wonder when you said I could be depleted how will I know how much I should increase to?Do you still think 1200mg is good to start. Ok thank you.
Monica the person you saw I'm not sure if its a nutritionist in us terms but anyhow I do know some have said the same to me about supplements. I think also because you MUST get nutrients from food to help those supplements work. Too many people think they can pop a pill and thats it. Its a combination of things to make it work. If that makes sense. Also some supplements I think you do have to be careful to not take in extremes. Even here in us the docs know little about diet and supplements. Even in my past without this issue and with my eating recovery I had to look for specialists who dealt with that ara. No docs seem to like to go out of their box. Can you find a doc and a nutritionist that specializes in this area of nutrition?
