You you can just buy cold pressed flax oil and supplement with that. ~30 USD for ~1L iirc and it has an absolute assload of ALA (omega3) Hemp seed oil is a goo

Hemp seed oil is a good one for omega6 but usually people get enough 6 from diet and 3 is the one we need to boost to get the 3:6 ratio up

- newaccount74 4y agoI like flax oil, but it spoils very quickly. I have trouble going through 250ml before it goes rancid.
- ilostmyshoes 4y agoDo you keep it in a refrigerator?
- newaccount74 4y agoMaybe I should
- johnyzee 4y agoALA must be converted to EPA and DHA, which it does at less than 10% efficiency, so you'd need to consume an assload of it, too. Your best bet is still fish(oil).

- Py-o7 4y agoand you can actually use up all the various desaturase and elongase enzymes in the process so that 10% upper bound drops markedly as you consume more ALA. Put differently long chain n-3's production definitely isn't linearly dependent on short chain n-3s like ALA and stearidonic acid.
- vjerancrnjak 4y agoYour efficiency statement brings the requirement to less than a tbsp a day (there's about 7 grams of ALA in a tbsp).
