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.

The Mediterranean’s Secret Ingredient: Walnuts

If you associate walnuts with cinnamon buns and other rich pastries, you might not realize what a healthy food they really are. These delicious little packages are dense with nutrients, an excellent source of manganese, copper and tryptophan. Particularly noteworthy for their omega-3 fats, walnuts are also high in antioxidants.

omega-3 supplement

I want to start taking an omega-3 supplement as I don't like fish. You had recommended one with a high EPA. How high should I go, and can you recommend a brand? I'm new to supplements! Brennan J. Robertson's Response Supplementing your diet with omega-3 is a great way to ensure that your body is getting enough of this vital fatty acid. Look for a supplement that is pharmaceutical grade, has been through molecular distillation (to remove toxins), and has a low peroxide value (PV). I recommend a ratio of ... (more)
