What EFA\'s do you all take?

I started to do a search on EFA's and found this...it seems to have all of the oils that I've heard people mention...primrose, bolage, fish, flaxseed........what do you all think?

Re: What EFA\'s do you all take?

It sounds like a good formula to me. What's the price w/shipping and handling? You can probably find something similar, but cheaper at your local Wild Oats or Whole Foods Market. Like Ultimate Oil, I forgot the name of the company who makes this.

I used to take a similar formula that was a Wild Oats brand, but I couldn't find it last time so I just bought Organic Flax Seed Oil and Evening Primrose Oil and I just take them together.

Thanks for the suggesion. I compared it to the Ultimate Oil. It was actually the same price (when you add shipping and handling) and it seemed a little more complete. Thanks though!

Hmmm

I compared the ingredients and it does look like a more complete formula.

Keep us posted on how it works for you!

Re: What EFA\'s do you all take?

I started out taking both Evening Primrose Oil and Flaxseed Oil. I ran out of the EPO and have just continued with the Flaxseed. My scalp and skin have benefited GREATLY. I used to have VERY dry scalp and skin and now that has been remedied!!! I'm considering adding the EPO back into my regimine to complete my EFA.

Re: What EFA\'s do you all take?

I TAKE CODLIVER OIL CAPS, AND EVENING PRIMROSE CAPS DAILY. I HAVE TO GET SOME MORE FLAX SEED OIL CAPS
(I RAN OUT) PURITAN PRIDE HAS A COMBO OF EFA'S AVAILABLE. IT'S CALLED ESSENTIAL OILS .
IT CONSISTS OF FISH, FLAX &amp; BORAGE OILS)
I MIGHT AS WELL GET THIS PRODUCT, RATHER THAN BUYING INDIVIDUAL BOTTLES.
HAVE TO CHECK THE I.U. (% OF DAILY VALUE) BEFORE I MAKE A CHANGE OF PLANS.

I HAVE SOME FLAX SEEDS, WHICH I PLAN TO ADD TO SHAKES AND SMOOTHIES THAT I MAKE AT HOME.

I used to take Total EFA by Health From The Sun. I may work it back into my vitamin regimen later on.

Re: What EFA\'s do you all take?

To all the cod liver oil users (myself included), did you know that you are not suppose to take cod liver oil during the summer? I did not know this until I read about it a few months ago. Apparently during the summer months our skin produces higher amounts of vitamin D, and cod liver oil contains vitamind..... to make a long story short, vitamin D can be toxic at high levels, so it is recommended that one should take cod liver oil during the fall and winter, and switch to "Fish Oil" during the spring and summer. I'm also posting the site where I read this.
**NOTE!!! I'm not trying to turn anyone against CLO (I take it myself; currently using fish oil for summer), I just wanted to let everyone to check into things and determine for yourselves.

Re: What EFA\'s do you all take?

Morning all! I take cod liver oil in the winter and occasionally in the summer if it has been rainy and there hasn't been much sun (I am in the midwest).I usually take a fish oil supplements in the summer. I use flax seed all year, either in cereal or sprinkled on my salad (YUM)!

Mercola is a great website for the latest up to date health information. However, Dr. Mercola did have an artcle this spring on the lowered absorbtion rate of vitamin D for people of color due to skin pigmentation. Based upon that article, I decided to continue with cod lover oil in the summer on an as needed basis. Everyone must decide for ones self!

Re: What EFA\'s do you all take?

I take Evening Primrose oil (the liquid not pill) and Cod liver oil. I was gonna change to something more total. I have about 10 days worth of Cod Liver oil. I was wondering about the vitamin A/D thing because my vitamins have it in also but not 100%, and because of the sun.

How do you know how much you get from the sun?? I mean what if you stayed in the house all that day (for some reason)...I guess what I'm saying is somedays we get more sun than others. Now that I'm thinking about it, it seems easier to switch to something else!!!!!!!
