SHOULD be 1-1 or 2-1, in the Western Diet normally 20-1 or something equally silly.

Pumpkin Seeds & Flax oil are 2 good forms of it to start putting into your nutrition.

I’ve been using 10X1 gram dose for fish oil caps for a long time now. I’ve noticed that I probably don’t get a whole lot of omega 3 fatty acids from my diet (except for an occasional meal consisting of salmon). My question is how important is the ratio between omega 6 and omega 3 fatty acids? Are there any studies out there indicating what would be a good ball park figure? 1:1? 2:1? Something else?

Nope, 10X1 gram capsule assuming a standard dosage of 180 mg epa/120 mg dha

so those 10X1 gram capsules provides 3 grams of actual fish oil.

Thanks for the great info.

I would just like to comment on this:
“My current generic recommendation is the middle level, 10X1 gram capsules per day for 3 grams total fish oil.”

I believe you meant to say 3 grams of EFAs ? Obviously 10×1g caps would be 10g of fish oil.
