Default Too Much of a Good Thing?

Hi,

Ok so does anyone know if it's possible to get too much EFA's? I got a high dosage one at the the health food store and then started wondering if too much EFA can stall the weight loss. I am assuming yes, just like having too much olive oil, avocado, etc.

Thanks

I dont' know the answer to your question but I know that at 6000 mg it is thought to be beneficial for depression--so I would think up to that amount is okay.

High dosages of high-quality omega 3s are incredibly beneficial to weight loss, as it also helps to reduce inflammation in the body naturally.

I take high quality Life-Extension omega3s at 12+ per day.
