> I know there has been talk of fish oil use on here, but after further research, the *most* effective combo of fatty acids is the EPA in fish oil, and the fatty acids in either evening primrose, flax, or hemp. (Most plant based oils.)
> The MAJOR benefits I have found with this combo is a)lifting of depression, better cognitive function b) weight loss.

> From my own experience, the effect of combining these, usually in a ratio of 2x fish oil, 1 x plant based oil. Dr. Michael Norden advocates this, as do many other docs. You can even use these if you are on meds. (Ask your doc, for sure though.) So, I take 4 grams of fish oil, and 1-2 grams of Evening Primrose 2x a day. You can start slower.

> The research concludes just fish oil or a plant oil alone is not anywhere near as powerful as the combination.

> JayJay - Can you tell me the name of the book or the article where you got this informationl. It sounds interesting.
