When I was at the health food store recently, I saw a product made by Barlean's called "The Essential Woman." It contains organic unrefined flaxseed oil, evening primrose oil, lignans, and soy isoflavones. According to the flyer I picked up, one tablespoon contains 5115mg Omega-3, 2330 mg Omega-6, 1488mg Omega-9, 100mg gamma linolenic acid, 5mg lignans, 45mg isoflavones. Other ingredients include: 2180mg flaxseed particulate, 55mg saponins, 20mg rosemary/ascorbic acid, 9mg protease inhibitors.
Has anyone here used this product? If so, what do you think of it? Aren't those doses of Omega 3, 6 and 9 very high?
