> Thank you so much. I am doing so much better than before the B6 and zinc, but I had been only taking small doses of the Omega 6 oils on an occasional basis. All of the responses I received here have helped me to realize the importance of a good quality Omega 6 taken daily.
I want to emphasize something, here. Gamma-linolenic acid is a rather rare omega-6 fatty acid. Most people get far far too much omega-6 fatty acids in their diet (I'm talking linoleic acid), due to the huge amounts of vegetable oils and vegetable oil products used in the commercial food industry. I would only ever recommend the specific omega-6 fat, GLA, for supplementation. Not omega-6 as a class.
