Hi All
Some people are looking for a formula for the amount of Flaxseed
Oil to take. When there can be no specific amount because what is truly
required is a balance of omega 3 to omega 6. So a person consuming
more vegetables would have less intake of omega 6 than someone
consuming more grains or meat. In which case the omega 3 intake would
have to be greater for the grain/meat eater. It seems from my experimentation
that one can safely ingest 80 grams or more of omega 3 per day spread out
but depending on what you eat 30+ grams (approx. 3 tablespoons) should
work ok - but realize that flax oil has only half as much omega 3 as cod liver
oil has. So the amount for flaxseed oil would be 6 tablespoons/day.
Also omega 3 is apparently dose dependent = the more you take
the faster it will work but it is still a long process to replace the omega 3 - 6
balance in all the cells of the body.
Another key factor is the pre enzymes vitamin C, niacin (B3), pyroxidine (B6),
zinc, or magnesium. If they are deficient then proper assimilation of omega 3
or omega 6 may not take place. See:
