What Omega Is Best

Hi,

I have a low AMH Level and we're having ICSI IVF. I've been looking into and buying supplements that may help. Everywhere mentions Omega 3 but they don't say how much to take?

And is it better to take just Omega 3 supplement or take a Omega 3, 6 and 9 Supplement?

I'm getting really confused (not that it takes much to confuse me lol)

Hi sparkle,

You just want omega-3s. Omega-6s contribute to inflammation and most of us already get too many of them because they're found in processed and refined foods.

I take 1 teaspoon of cod liver oil per day for omega-3s, specifically Rosita Extra Virgin Cod Liver Oil xx

Omega 3 is the main nutrient you want. You can get this from most health shops...@soccerkt6 is right that omega 6 can contribute to inflammation and omega 9 usually balances the 6 out.

I take algal (vegan) omega 3 every day because I can't stand the fishy burps from cod liver ones and they always seem to really upset my guts. It is best to find one with DHA and EPA in it. I also eat a couple of portions of salmon a week. xx

I saw a nutritionist who recommended Omega 3 supplied by Wild Nutrition 🙂

Thank you all for your comments, I took all of your advice and brough Omega 3 with EPA and DHA 😊I brought a high strength one with each Softgel Tablet Containing.....

1000mg Omega 3 Fish Oil,

180mg EPA

120mg DHA

So I hope that's good?

On the tin it says to take 2 softgel tablets twice per day (4 tablets in total) that just seems a bit excessive to me???

How many do you all think I should take? x
