The fish oil supplement facts on mine has EPA: 300mg, DHA: 200mg, so omega-3 = 500mg for serving size 2, so 4 pills = 1g of omega-3, right?I started 4 pills (1g), then 6 pills (1.5g), etc.
Gotcha 🙂 Okay good. Most people should not have acne getting worse by these pills, but it's possible they do. Our guess is that the fillers in the pills do more bad then good. So if you see any worsening, let me know.
But generally you should be okay.
Yes, you are correct 4 pills is one gram.
Start out at one gram, and see how you feel just to be safe. For a few days if you feel fine, you can go to 2 grams, then 3.
Right, but when should I start noticing some improvement, and what improvements will I notice? Reduced acne, or reduced redness, or better skin tone in general, etc?
Could you give me a brief overview of how most people fared Romeo? Like did it help most people or not make a difference or break some people out? Normally I always read these big threads but this one is..143 pages.

LOL quite understandable.
Well basically what happens is that within a span of 3 weeks, they notice that the severity of their acne tends to decrease. I would say they also realize that their sebum composition begins to change, not as thick you could call it. White heads tend to not form as much, but little smaller bumps instead.
I've seen results differ. I've seen a few people have the opposite happen where they had increased acne. But my guess is that either the fillers or an allergy to fish.
If you notice that, change to a liquid fish oil supplement so you know it's pure and avoid anything else in it.
I'd also recommend that if you are not getting enough other good fats, like olive oil, you should be getting them as soon as possible. Do this with the fish oil regimen and you should notice a much better improvement. I would say 5 servings of healthy fats. 2 to 3 from a source of nuts, or peanut butter, and the rest from olive oil. I know the first page says differently (I have to edit that) since it's been a while and we've learned a lot since then.
If you would like to know more, take a look at this post
I found a good healthy source of omega 6 here: http://www.vitacost.com/Flora-Safflower-Oi...essed-Unrefined
Hi, I have a question. I started at page 1 of this post and read the first 15 pages and didn't see this question asked.
After I cut out peanut butter from my diet I'll be getting
1g of Omega 3 (mostly from one can of tuna a day)
1g of Omega 6
Since that would already be a 1:1 ratio would fish oil pills still be helpful to reduce my acne? I'm thinking no since it would give me way more Omega 3 then 6 and inbalance the ratio...
But is 1g even enough for me?
After reading these posts it sounds like no longer eating peanut butter would really help me with my acne but that sounds too easy to be true. 
By the way, the peanut butter I was eating (All Natural) had almost 5grams of omega 6 per serving and I was using two servings a day. 
So should I not bother with fish oil pills at all since I already have a 1:1 ratio and expect to see the same results just from my diet change?

Hey I was to apologize, we were massively wrong, so I decided to put a 'under construction' post to replace the first post.
We've learned a lot since then, and there is a lot of misinformation about what we understood previously.
Disregard that information as far as the balancing goes, we learned that that's not how it quite works.
Read this post and it will tell you more about the optimal fat intake

It should explain everything.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience! If you have any questions after this, definitely ask so I can re-answer anything.

Good find! Although be careful, if you were to get your 65 grams of fat a day through Safflower, you would end up with so much omega 6, that it would be unhealthy (and problematic). So if you took safflower, the rest of our sources have to be olive oil.
Reason being is safflower contains 10 grams of Linoleic Acid (omega 6) per dose. And since we want a range of in between 10 to 15 grams of omega 6 a day, yet still getting 65 grams, it wouldn't work. That's one of the reasons why people recommend olive oil and peanuts/peanut butter as a source of healthy fats all the time, because you can get your 65 grams of fat, yet still be sure you don't overshoot your ideal omega 6 intake :)!
hey guys so have y'all made any advancements on this? i guess ive been taking fish oil for 8 or 9 months now, with overall great results. I had a big drop off over the summer that really set me back(still not 100% sure why) but since late August i got myself back on track and my face is slowly but surely healing and getting better.
the last two months ive been primarily taking this supplement called Omega Q Plus. Its expensive, but a family member had gotten it for me so I tried it. Its got(per 2 caps):
50 IU vit E
20 mg B6
800 mcg folic acid
500 mcg B12
310 mg EPA
250 mg DHA
250 mg L-Carnitine
26 mg Coenzyme Q10
no idea what half od that is and how much it helps, but thats what ive been using, 4 caps a day. Im running a little low though so im gonna be taking two of those and two of some normal Rexall "Premium Omega 3 & 6" w/ 432 mg EPA, 288 mg DHA, and 24 mg of "Other Fatty Acids" whatever the hell that means
let me know any new info you got
There have been reports that increased bleeding can occur if overused (normally over 3 grams per day) by a patient who is also taking aspirin or coumadin (warfarin).
Just something I would like to point out, for safety, if it hasn't already.
Since it also lowers the immune responce, if you get a large cut or are going to "go under the knife" it would probably not be suggested to take such large amounts since it will effect the healing process

Definitely, that is something I will add in the update as well, thank you for the heads up. That's a very good point!

The only current advancements is we switched to cod liver oil. We learned how that toxicity mainly applied to synthetic vitamins, like the vitamin A you find at a drug store, or emulsified vitamin A, ended up being 10x more toxic than in it's natural form (in cod liver oil) and that vitamin D ended up protecting against vitamin A toxicity. We also learned the effects on retinol and sebaceous glands. The last thing we learned was how much filler material was actually in it, and it being filled with hydrogenated oils, it not being very good for us. With these three things, we changed to liquid cod liver oil. I took 2 doses for about 2 months. Now I take one dose cod liver oil (twin labs - not emulsified), and one dose liquid fish oil (carlsons). It's been going pretty well.
Also the addition of other healthy fats, after realizing how vital they were, since I actually sat down and calculated my macros to realize I wasn't even getting anywhere close to the RDA of 65 grams. It made a huge difference.
I think your supplement is good, however if it's too pricey, you can simply take the items listed in there seperately. I take vit E, b complex as well so it covers most of what is listed, except for the CoQ10
I think I liked it better when all I had to try and do was get a 1:1 ratio for Omega 6 and 3, that was easy
All the vitamins, good fats, and other mineral requirments confuse me a little so I just linked my diet below. I'm not really sure what I should be taking based on my info
http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts-C00021L...TB-01c21sP.html
Going by that, what do you think I should be taking to help me with my acne?
Thanks for any help you can give me, I appreciate it a ton. 
(hope i linked that right)
By the way, I already purchased some Fish oil soft gels with EPA-432mg and DHA-288mg... I plan to buy CLO though next time.

Impressive! I like how you used nutritiondata and figured out how to do the pantry and everything 🙂
As you can see, the only thing that is lacking is generally the fat intake. You're at 37% DV. Along with the 2 servings of peanut butter, add in some olive oil and a serving of nuts, you'll be good to go. Or you can substitute the PB for nuts completely, it's up to you and how you prefer it. Also be sure to use measurement units and not go by tableware as it's not even close to what the actual measurement is.
Also you are low on vitamin A, zinc, E and C. Take these seperately. Once you take cod liver oil, you can stop taking vitamin A. But be sure to only take 1, no more.
Good job!
vitamin A and zinc work, as does E and C. Take these in pairs :). Also ensuring that you get enough fat in your diet will aid in making sure fat soluble vitamins get absorbed.
You should notice a good difference with healthy fats and the addition of those vitamins/minerals.
Give it time of course, I would say 3 weeks, as the body is so SLOW with change. That's the only downside. The darn time!
i notice that fish oil gives me little yellow sebum plugs along my t-zone. mostly nose, under eyes, and middle of forehead. if i skip a day or two then the oil pretty much stops.i probably only notice this since i am post tane and my skin is otherwise very dry. it's not a big deal, i just exfoliate and the stuff flakes right off. but it has me wondering if fish oil is really helping? obviously if its making my face oily then thats not a good thing.
Switch to liquid fish oil, not capsules, and see if that may help. It may not be the fish oil. But before you do that, Also, when you do not take it, you're saying you never get sebum plugs? Tell me more about that. It may be the fact that also you don't get any other healthy fats in your diet. Do you get any olive oil, canola, or any other oils in your diet? Or are they completely non-existent? Tell me more.
Hello,I started reading this thread and am very interested in the diet possibilities. However, 147 pages is too much to cipher through so I was wondering if you could just help me out.
I'm a 20 year old male with mild to moderate acne. I take centrum a to zinc everyday. Should I combine or switch that with Fish Oil? Basically any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Sure,
Basically tell me the types of fat you get daily and how much of it you get. Or just list the sources. Also include any vegetable oils you get.
Write out your diet as well, I can set you up with basic nutrition tips that directly relates to acne.
Well I take liquid capsules so I'm not sure what you mean!I also take flax oil capsules. I get a decent amount of oil from eating fish weekly and fried vegetables usually daily. I use either virgin olive oil and canola. If I stop the fish oil and flax oil capsules then the sebum plugs in my t-zone stop and I don't get them at all. It is very peculiar.
I'm certain that it is the capsules. I've experimented several times now. If I go on them (take pills in morning) then the next morning I wake up with sebum on my t-zone that can be scraped off with my fingernail. The sebum plugs are about the size of a large grain of sand. enough to be felt rolling between your fingers.
If I stop the pills then the sebum production falls off quite fast. two or three days later the sebum is pretty much stopped and my skin is smooth.
Now remember, I am post tane and my oil production is pretty low so I'm sure that's why i notice this. also i noticed that milk gives me eczema (tane left my skin sensitive). it took me awhile to realize what was causing it. i used to think the milk=inflammation thing was bullshit, but now I've stopped drinking cow milk in exchange for soy and trying to avoid dairy as an ingredient. it works! i get no eczema or zits unless i do something to really irritate my skin.
i tested this by having milk every morning for a week. bam i got hit with crazy eczema. my legs were raw and oozing. i went off the milk and inflammation started to decrease immediately. only a week later and the skin is back to normal save a few patches of scabs.
i still hate the way accutane has made my skin sensitive. but it has allowed me to make these conclusions that would have otherwise been masked by oily skin!

"Well I take liquid capsules so I'm not sure what you mean!"
There are two types. The capsules you take, and the liquid fish oil. Meaning it's an actual liquid you can pour from the bottle. It contains no fillers and other oils (some contain hydrogenated oils) that are a part of it. I am saying that may be causing the issue, not the fish oil itself 🙂 But it's just something you can try. Or if you eat fish a few times per week as you say, that should suffice, I hope.
But if it is making things worse don't take it 🙂 Since you are pretty clear otherwise, you know?

Thanks for the info, though im not sure what your talking about in the part I bolded. Im doing pretty well as I am right now so I dont realy see the need to switch to liquid, but i'll keep it in mind.

Ah sorry, retinol meaning vitamin A. And I was refering to the vitamin A (natural) content in liquid cod liver oil. 🙂 The second part (filler material) was in the fish oil capsules.
But if it's going great for you, don't change, just take a vit A (not exceeding daily 100% value), or get a good source of it otherwise, you should be good.
How soon should I expect anything? Ny a week's dosage of 2 teaspoon a day I should start seeing my oil levels decrease right? (less oily face), and probably then my acne will start going away??
If you are also getting your other essential fats in the amounts recommended, then yes, definitely, you should notice a difference. With just fish oil alone you should see some difference, but the best difference comes from making sure you are getting all your fats, and enough of it 🙂
You turn your back for 5 minutes and sticky threads change 
Well the acne's back again! not terrible, but no 99.9% like it was 
. All i have really done is increased my calories, eating the same stuff. Still off gluten & dairy and doing everything else the same. I hope to god more calories doesnt equal acne. That would suck biscuits!
Anyway - i'm doing my CLO 2 times a day, some peanuts, and some olive oil. Exactly how much olive oil are you taking and are you taking it straight? or eating it on foods? And are you counting the fats in foods towards your 65/100g a day total?

Don't worry 🙂 The good news is that you are much better than you were before, so little back tracks are normal, plus they may be just something out of your control you know? like normal acne we should get at our age? I don't know lol, but as long as it's not chronic acne like we used to have, we know we've done really well! Or perhaps if it's one now and then, it could be something like a clogged pore here and there or just something else 🙂 But that's just some food for thought (don't worry, it's dairy free hehe)
I take extra virgin olive oil in my eggs in the morning, pasta in the evening. I put a serving and a half for breakfast, and a serving and a half for dinner. That's about 3 servings. Usually I only get in 1 or 2 of olive oil. I get 1 serving of peanut butter (make sure it's natural peanut butter. Not the jiff stuff, they contain hydrogenated oils and gross stuff). I put it on some wheat bread, one serving, with a bit of jelly. Or make a sandwhich out of it and take it to school as lunch with some oatmeal squares and peanuts.
So in total: 1 to 3 servings of olive oil (depending on day and what I eat), 3 servings of peanuts, 1 serving of peanut butter. So I get a total of about 75 grams of fat a day up to 100 grams, a vast majority from monosatured fats. It really has helped! My mood really has increased as well, I'm not as moody as I used to be at all, always satisfied when I eat, never cranky, and very happy! But I also made the other changes like adding in the eggs and pinto beans and not being afraid to eat real wholesome food just because it may affect someone even though it may not concern me. Getting that hardy nutrition has helped, especially realizing I've been deficient in so much out of fear!
Also skin wise, the sebum my body is producing is very pure. I can't explain it. Before my hair felt gross by the end of the day, now it feels so smooth instead, very nice and soft. And not sticky, but actually doing it's darn job! 😀 I'm so happy for that. It feels normal. And also the moisture level in my skin. Like an internally moisturized feeling on my skin, very soft and non dry. Before after I would shampoo, my hair would be like straw, now I can easily comb it very well even wet, no tangles, a huge difference!
But that's just me of course. A good way to measure your intake and see what u are missing and what you still need is to go on nutritiondata.com Make an account. Add all the foods you eat into your "pantry" and it calculates everything for you! 🙂 How easy is that? It gave me the entire base of what I was missing and what exactly I needed to do. That is how I got to ensure I was lacking in nothing: no vitamin, mineral, fat, protein, or carb complex
This is awesome. I'm taking the Omega 3 Fish Oil softgels (4 a day/2 in the morning, 2 at night) and I take 3 multi-vitamin pills, and I continue to use my regular regimen of Pro-Active and my face is looking better everyday. I've also changed my diet and have started eating alot of vegetables and fruits and I'm going to start exercising more starting tomorrow. I still eat chicken and every once and awhile I eat some omega 3 eggs, but this is great. I'm just wainting for my red marks to fade and I'll be good!
I am sorry if this has been asked before Romeo. But about the good fats that you been talking lately about. So you take CLO for the omega3. Which I do too (2 teaspoons)> And you said you take olive oil for omega 9. And is thet peanuts for omega 6? I thought omega 6 is in most foods so people don't have problems getting them. Thanks in advance 😀I'll be more than happy to clarify so no worries 🙂
Olive oil and Peanuts contain Polyunsatured fats, and Monosatured fats.
Now, Polysaturated fats include omega 3, and omega 6. Mono is omega 9.
Our bodies demand a minimum of 65 grams of fat a day to function properly, absorb vitamins, retain water, mood health, and many other vital functions dealing with sebum, skin, water retention, etc.
Of these 65 grams of fat, the perfect ideal intake of each group is as follows
2 grams of omega 3 (from epa/dha)
10-15 grams of omega 6
and the rest from mono (omega 9).
Monosatured fats (omega 9) are good because they reduce LDL and keep HDL levels from dropping. Awesome.
Linoleic acid (omega 6) is the fatty acid that our sebaceous glands draw from to nourish the skin. A lack of these fats cause our bodies to use omega 9 fats that our bodies produce on it's own, which is very comedogenic to our skin, and works against us. Omega 6 fats are also converted to GLA in healthy bodies, which is anti-inflammatory along with omega 3. The bad omega 6 fats are another story, but peanuts and olive oil have none of those. Also, our bodies look to use linoleic acid first hence why even if we eat monosatured fats they are still good, as long as we are getting linoleic acid.
Omega 3 fats of course you know what they do.
Now, the difference in olive oil and peanuts is that they are both roughly 15 grams per serving.
BUT, olive oil contains 1.5 grams of linoleic acid and 13.5 grams of omega 9.
Peanuts contain 4 grams of linoleic acid and 11 grams of omega 9.
So hence why I get a few servings of peanuts AND olive oil. Because if I eat only nuts, then I may have too much omega 6. But if I eat only olive oil, I won't get enough omega 6.
Follow me so far?
Next, you are correct that most people do get too much omega 6 in their diet. But we forget that it's only unhealthy people we talk about, those that eat out all the time, and eat fast food. But when we have control over our diet, we tend to forget that when we make our own foods, we get almost none unless WE put it in our diets :).
The unhealthy get too much saturated/trans/hydrogenated + TOO much omega 6, and the super conscious tend to get too little of any fats.
So we have to be in equilibrium.
I hope that answers your questions 🙂
Wow I've been not checking this thread (previously called fish oil thread) for a couple months and now I read that omega 6 is one of the good guys all of a sudden :popcorn: I guess I've been overdoing on omega 3 for some time...I've been taking 4,5 grams from salmon fish oil capsules plus I eat (canned) salmon and/or tuna every day (!). :think:
So I'll be cutting down on omega 3 (will decrease my intake from capsules to 2 grams) and I'll start eating peanut butter:D every day. Do you think I can even stop taking my fish oil capsules if I continue eating (canned) tuna and/or salmon every day (divided over 2 sandwiches)?
Also I've been taking 90 mg of zinc for a while, does some good:) Thinking about buying some b-complex and vitamin c...(my parents go crazy when they see all these pills :naughty: )
Can't make an account on nutritiondata.com :confused: ...says 'internal server error' for longer than a month!
How's all this working out for you, Romeo?? Still in the struggle?
Anyway, thanks a lot for the new info!! And thanks in advance for the (always quick) response!

Try just taking in olive oil and see how you fair, with a few servings of nuts. And don't expect anything for 3 weeks, just remember it takes forever for our bodies to adjust and replenlish an inadequacy. 🙂
Also when you said 2 grams fish oil, I hope you don't mean just 2 capsules. I think you aren't doing that, but I have to make sure for the sake of you 🙂
And yes, if you eat fish or tuna daily, I think you should be okay, I would still take at least some kind of fish oil supp with it.
I would stick with just 1 pill at 50 mg zinc.
In the morning I take
Carlson fish oil (1.6 grams) liquid
Vitamin C
Vitamin E (these two work together)
Calcium
Evening
Cod liver oil (900 mg)
Zinc (works together with the vit A in CLO)
Chromium
B complex
But of course I eat lots of fat through the day now, so after a meal with fat I take all my supps, make sure the fat soluble vitamins are absorbed. Perhaps thats why we still had acne when we would take supps and eat right, not enough fat to absorb fat soluble vitamins (should have thought of that one before). I don't know how much is enough to absorb fat soluble vitamins, but I know for sure now I am getting enough.
