Hi Larry,
Sorry I haven't visited this board in a while. I studied supplements feverishly a year ago and got researched out. It is especially depressing because I am faced with the fact that I can research all I want, but a month later I will have forgotten 60% of what I read.So: The thing is when I am depressed I eat very little, so I really am missing just about everything in terms of nutrition.
But I agree, I have heard conflicting research. I have too read that if anything we have too much omega 6 proportionally. Then you hav Joan Larsen (was the book Depression free naturally?) saying omega 6 deficiency has been linked to depression and alcoholism. Evidence in both directions.
I admittedly have not studied up on omega 9 as much.
Flax oil----not always can ALA be converted to DHA and EPA so you need fish oil as a source of omega 3, however it has other benefits.But thus I take still extra fish oil for its benefits--so I do take more omega 3 than this formula.I am sure we can match oil formulas with ease and less expensive, that is definitely true and they rip us off. I however do not want to drink oil daily, so I will spend the money and take the sofgels thank you!
