A lot of people believe that supplements are totally safe and you can never take too many. This is not true especially with oil supplements.
I suggest that the average size person takes no more than 15 gram of oil supplements and to learn the precautions.
There are 3 major precautions to be considered when taking Fatty Acids.
- Fatty Acids thin the blood, use only under supervision if you are: on blood thinners, have a bleeding disorder or are a hemophiliac.
- Fatty Acid should be taken at least 2 hours away from mucilangenous herbs such as: Psyllium, Slippery Elm, etc. There is no interaction if taken together, it is just helps prevent the mucilangenous herbs from absorbing the fats and pulling them out of the body.
- Fatty Acids should be taken with a protein. This is true when taking any oil based supplements such as: Vitamins A, D, E and K as well as Flax Seed Oil, Evening Primrose Oils, Black Currant Oil, Omega 3 Oils, etc., to get the full benefit from them and to prevent developing a fatty liver.
