How much omega-3 is too much

Q. Is there any upper limit as far as how many grams of omega 3 you can take? I'm aiming for an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio of 4:1. As an example, if I ate 10g of omega 3 and 40g of omega 6, that's still in the 4:1 ratio but is 10g of omega-3 too much? What would be the upper limit? A. There is no UL (tolerable upper limit) for omega-3 or omega-6 fatty acids (PUFAs). The USDA feels it has "insufficient evidence" to set one. Instead, you might want to consider how much total fat you're going to eat and how you want to divide that up. For example, consuming large amounts of PUFAs might either cause you to miss out on the benefits of other fats, such as monounsaturated fats, or lead you to eat too much total fat.
