"Am I taking too much omega-3-6? "
"I have had moderate seborrheic dermatitis since I was about 16. Having spent a lot of my youth trying everything imaginable I long ago accepted that topical zinc creams were as good as it was going to get. Lately however I've returned to the literature (I am a virologist so I'm used to critically evaluating scientific papers). I've started on anti-inflammatory fatty acid supplements. I'm 4 weeks in and my God what a difference.
I'm currently taking the two pills with my heaviest meal. The first is 1200 mg ultra refined fish oil, claiming 700mg EPA, 200mg DHA, & 20mg DPA in every capsule. The other is Evening Primrose Oil and Starflower Oil (Borage oil) 1000mg. Claiming 130 mg of GLA. Both of these capsules contain vitamin E (for spoilage I'm guessing) totalling 10.02 mg which is well within acceptable limits for vitamin E I believe.
However, if I am planning to take this long term I'm concerned about bleeding risks and typical RDA values for poly-unsaturated fats (little data?). Omega-3 is in vogue at the moment and the published literature feels like a murky world of contradictions and publications bias. Just looking for an educated second opinion. Am I taking too much?"

" -Generally as much as 3 grms (three thousand mg) associated with omega-three fatty acids are viewed as dependable. -For most of us to find the benefits of rr-3 fatty acids, supplements nearly d-1000mg (EPA + DHA) on a daily basis is all that is required intended for maximum profit. Along with/or even a few-4 amounts weekly of junk angle. - remember that the number of Z-3's inside a product depends on adding the actual mg (mg) regarding EPA + DHA. (Not necessarily just how much of fish oil)"
