Posted by Michael Byrd on Mar 07 2010 | Tagged as: Fish Oil
With so many people trying to work omega 3 into their diets on a daily basis, the number of omega 3 supplements on the market has skyrocketed in the past 5 years. However, if you really want a mega-dose of omega 3, then you may be excited to hear that prescription omega 3 fatty acid supplements based around concentrated servings of salmon oil may be on their way.
However, before you start doubling up your omega 3 fatty acid supplement to try and hit prescription levels, remember that it is important to balance your omega 3 intake with other fatty acids, like omega 6. Many people think that you cannot get enough omega 3, but in reality it is simply that most diets are so much higher in omega 6 than omega 3 that you would have trouble eating enough omega 3 naturally to hit the proper ratio.
Using a regular omega 3 supplement should be sufficient for most people to get enough omega 3 in their daily diet. So do not wait for prescription medication when you can get what you need from a supplement available to you right now. Start taking a healthy omega 3 fatty acid supplement today!
