So what's a good EFA supplement?

By the way all the posts above were gibberish to me.

Also herring oil.

The higher the omega-3 to omega-6 ratio, the better.

You can find tables on the web that list the relative essential fattya acid constituentcy of various oils (vegetable, palm, nut, and fish derived).

EPA and DHA are the converted forms of omega-3 fats that you use directly in brain and other tissues.

I recommend the latter (the NOW products are decent).

My point above: cheap ass fish oils are often derived from trash fish, and have the opposite mixture of omegas (high in 6s and 9s, lower in 3s) than cold water marine fish.

I tried one Wally World fish oil that literally make my skin break out in red itchy patches, it so jumped up my inflammation response. Think of being bitten about 2000 times by big ass mosquitoes, and you'll understand better my reaction.

I never have this problem with the EPA/DHA EFAs.

Trouble, I read in one of your other posts of your body's reaction to running out of EFA.
I never thought of it before, but I have a really bum right shoulder that I thought would give me fits because of Max-OT, but I really haven't had much of a problem, perhaps because I add flax seed oil to my sleepy time protein drink.
I wouldn't be surprised if I got laid up if I ever stopped taking it...
