it does? they have some article or something that explains the reasoning, i guess i should try to get a copy. how solid do you imagine the logic being?
are there any other factors in this (SDA to EPA conversion) that must be present for conversion to be significant? like how estrogen increases ALA to EPA conversion.
if 1g of ALA is really in 5mL of that stuff, at least a bit has to make EPA, doesn't it? perhaps especially considering the fact that i take HRT. i've heard these 5%-10% conversion numbers, i don't know where i got them, how valid they are... some EPA has to come out of taking a full gram of EPA; to predict, any amount or range you would consider valid?
