Question about evening primrose oil

[Plynn]

Hi, I am new to this forum and still learning about supplements. After reading Dr. Latkany's book, I learned about the ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6 oils. I am now taking fish/flaxseed oil supplements, but I was also taking the primrose as well. I noticed this contains mostly Omega 6 and 9.

Will taking the primrose oil mess up the ratio of Omega 3 to 6? I have stopped the primrose oil, but I am not sure if it is helpful or not.

Please advise and thanks,
Plynn

Plynn: If you don't get an answer from board members, this is a good question for Dr. Mike (Lange). If you go to the Dry Eye Talk main page and look under "Q&A forums with special guest contributors," you'll see his "Q&A about nutritional supplements and dry eye."

you might want to try taking taking "Borage oil" as it is easier for you body to use/assimilate than primerose. do a search on it...
