> I tried the flax oil supplements today for the first time. The galcapsules *smelled* a little *funky*, but I took one with a meal and didn't get any fishy reflux like I did on the Fish oil. This stuff had about 1 gram of Omega-3, with a couple hundred milligrams of Omega-6 combined with Vitamin-E (they mentioned taking 1-4 caps daily)-I will take just one/day for a while thanks.. I can handle this. Obviously, it will take a while to see if can help (or biplolar and ADHD).
Hi Mitch,
Good, I am glad you tried it. Omega 3 oils and E are heart healthy too. And, I believe they also help with skin conditions, at least in my case...I do think 2 grams is the lowest rec. dose for BP...But I should check on that, cause I am relying on memory right now, yikes!Anyway, I think you plan is a good one. One gelcap with food until you know you are tolerating it well. I think supplementing meds with "alternative" therapies can be very useful.
Keep us informed on your progress.
Chloe
