I am just taking 2 tablespoons a day of Flax Seed Oil. The other sources are fish oil and are slightly different in chemical compound. Taking both is supposedly necessary for the therapy. I will need to get the capsule form for the fish oil, though, as even the flax seed oil kind of makes me gag. One sign of deficiency is cracked heels and fingertips. Oh, and Bipolar Disorder, so they say. Go to mothernature.com and do a search on EFA and they'll have several articles you can read on it. They have good prices on products, too. That's where I get all my vitamins, etc.
barleans.com has very fresh, high quality flax seed oil.
Good luck on your new program. Please do keep us posted.Karen
