All fats or oil soluble supplements need to be taken with a protein. Without proteins the liver doesn't know it needs to release bile salts to digest the fats and oils.
Good sources of protein include: Nuts (all but peanuts), seeds, eggs, meats, beans and lentils.
Good sources of fatty acids include:
- Flaxseed Oil
- Evening Primrose Oil
- Super Omega 3 Oil
- Black Currant Oil
- Hemp Oil
- Krill Oil

I sometimes suggest three tablespoons for those who have a profound deficiency of fatty acids.
One of the liver's function is to break down fatty acids into useable material for the myelin. A weak liver often cannot do this. So the person may be taking an adequate amount of plant based oils, but not getting any benefit from it. If you have any of the liver symptoms, I would also take something for the liver.
