Normally, this ratio is 20/1 or even 50/1, it depends of the amounts of omega 6 (basically, grains and grain oils a person ingests).<br /><br />So, if you want to have a better control of the inflammation ( heart disease, high triglycerides, diabetes, arthritis, etc.) in your body and of the elasticity of all your cellular membranes, you should be pointing to a 1/1 ratio. <br /><br />It varies with your diet. If you have a high omega 6 diet, with lots of grains, pasta, breads, cookies, starches and low in vegetables, fruits and omega 3 meats, you should take more than 6.000 mg per day of fish oil (1.800 mg of omega 3 fats, DHA plus EPA).<br /><br />Read more at http://www.omega-3-fish-oil-wonders.com/omega-3-fatty-acids-dosage.htmlAlfredo E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12038001606886869815noreply@blogger.com
