Omega 3 and omega 6

[Ribenaberry]

Ive read a few times that i shouldnt be taking more omega 6 than omega 3, is that right?

Im taking 3000mg of epo and 1000mg of omega 3 fish oils - does this sway girl?? This is the first time ive taken any fish oils for ttc, ive only ever taken the epo and got 2 girls. Im doing my gest to do the he diet but failing every so often!!

Also, if i take more omega 3 oils tomorrow is it early enough to make the difference by friday???

Thanks in advance

I don't know if it sways pink or not - it may, because studies have been done in other mammals that have shown high intake omega 6's = more females conceived. More importantly, if you eat more Omega 6 than Omega 3, it's not at all good for your health and may cause heart disease over the course of many years. Plus, that much of ANY of the essential fatty acids, is going to act as a blood thinner and make you more likely to suffer from bleeding abnormalities some of which can be FATAL.

Okay, so if i take 2000mg epo and 2000mg fish oil is that still too much fatty acid? Is it better to take just 1000mg of each.

Id read you needed to take 3000mg of epo for it to have effect, which is why i was taking that much, i hadnt actually realised fish oil added to that, id just seen people take it so added some to my already giant pill pile lol.

Yes that is still too much. The fatty acids when taken in high doses may lower cholesterol so much that your body does not have enough to manufacture T and E from. My recommendation is no more than 2000 TOTAL from all essential fatty acids. So that would be 1000 EPO, 1000 fish oil, or 500 epo, 1000 fish oil.

people see big changes from as little as 500 mg EPO, not sure what the 3000 is about - that is actually an unsafe amount for the average person.

Thanks, ill drop it down tomorrow, yeah, most websites recommend 1500-3000 a day of just epo for improving ewcm, so i took 3 x 1000mg capsules a day when ttc the last 2 times. I hope its not ruined my good effort with eating more and better, i dont want to be getting fat for nothing lol!
