Why did you buy flaxseed? You should have asked before hand =P. The conversion ratio with flax seed is really bad to the omega 3 that matters (10 to 15% conversion). You need to stick with fish body oils. But if it works, go for it!

for about 5 days ive been taking anywhere from 6-9 1200mg fish oil pills, and ive been seeing consistent results everyday.

what i have noted is that right now my skin is much softer, and a little less oily so i think that my sebum content has changed.

without over hyping this phenomena and turning it into something its not, i would still like to say that my acne is clearing up although its not dramatic it is a stable and consistent improvement at a rate of about 3% improvement per day, which compared to any other treatment ive tried is actually pretty miraculous.considering on accutane you could be breaking out for the entire six month course before you clear up.

Thanks AutonomousOne1980, I was wondering what you mean by your acne improving by 3% per day. Do you mean 3% fewer breakouts or 3% reduction in the size and/or duration of the breakout? I have fish oil supplements and I wasn't taking them. I will reintroduce them and see what happens. Is your acne still improving now at the beginning of May (I hope I didn't miss a newer post on this)?

I took 3 teespoons of flaxseed oil + 3 pils of e-epa a day for couple of months. After two weeks my sebum and oilines decreased and I got fever pimples than before. But now my oilines and pimples are coming back just the way they used to be. Any ideas why this is happening?

These are the ones i ended up buying, however after reading back through this thread, i now know that the levels of EPA and DHA are very low. The amount of EPA in one capsule is 180mg and the amount of DHA is 120mg. How many of these should i be taking a day so that they actually help with my skin?

I suggest 15--but 10 would also be okay as long as you've drastically reduced your intake of vegetable oils (olive oil and coconut oil are okay).

I was very iffy about this thread... I'm sure fish oil and omega 3's can help in some way, however, most of you are obtaining these through pills, which are made of gelatin (pork, pork-skin), which aggrevate acne. I used to take many pills like omega 3's, vitamin A, E, metamucil pills for the fibre, but I found out i broke out more, not because of the content inside the pills, but because of the Gelatin that heavily broke me out with whiteheads.

Once i stopped taking gelatin my skin improved and stopped whiteheads.

I just want to recommend that you stay away from Gelatin. Look in the "Other ingredients" section and you will find what the shell of the pill is made of. Although some of you may not be affected by Gelatin, it is best that you find pills made of other material, like pills made of vegetable, or take the liquid directly and dont consume the shell.

thank you jayvomez,well I'll stop taking those pills cos the whitheads were coming out like mushrooms after the rain:(,now I've started taking mega zink 100 mg per day,and cos I have mild acne now I think it will work:D.And @ paul25-I wish u very good luck...

why wouldnt you go for these supplements in the liquid form.

- more effective

- no gelatin problem

- greater value for same money

Ive taken supplements before that have gelatin so im going to keep giving this a try. Also, reading back through the thread it appears that people have suffered breakouts when they first started this so i think its well worth giving it abit of time.

how can I find out hte information on omega 3 and omega 6 of my dietary foods from nutritiondata.com?? The nutrition facts only shows Unsaturated Fats and both omega 6 and 3 are unstaturated fatty acid chains so I dont know....

when you search for the nutritional information on any food you are provided with the total omega 3 and omega 6 contents at the bottom of the table titled fats and fatty acids.

Most of the modern burp-free pills are laced with lemon oil and soy. The soy could break people out. I got a soy-free bottle that has gelatin and glycerin in the ingredients, but I haven't reacted negatively to these and there is no aftertaste.

Could someone kindly point me to information on what is wrong with taking a 3-6-9 EFA supplement?

I tried reading through these pages, but I can't find that information.

Thank you! Sorry for asking something that's already been discussed!

(I'm taking a 3-6-9 right now, and it really seems to be making a difference in my skin. I'm also going to pick up some cod liver oil, though.)

http://www.knowledgeofhealth.com/pdfs/accutane_report.pdf

Scroll down 3/4 of the way to Part II: Overcoming the side effects of Accutane (for those of you on Accutane).

I also like Genuine Health Perfect Skin.

Could someone kindly point me to information on what is wrong with taking a 3-6-9 EFA supplement?

While omega-6s and omega9s are healthy in moderation, omega-3s are the one that you're most likely deficient in. In order to correct this, you'll have to take a certain amount of omega-3s.

If you try to get this from a 3-6-9 supplement, then you'll end up getting too much omega-6, which will make the healing process slower. Plus, you'd have to take an insane amount of capsules to get enough. Moreover, it's easy to get enough omega-6s from diet alone.

Thank you, I appreciate that information! It wouldn't necessarily be detrimental, though, correct? I mean, it's not going to knock anything in my body out of balance? That was the vibe I was getting.

Right now I'm eating a ton of salmon and olive oil, taking the 3-6-9, and as soon as I get over this nasty bout of flu, I'm going to buy some cod liver oil, fish oil, and evening primrose oil.

My skin is already looking and feeling better!

(I'm also on a low-sugar/carb diet and steaming my face every night and using an egg white mask and ACV toner)

I also remember that my skin was clear when I was taking Evening Primrose Oil, drinking fresh carrot juice (and eating salmon like crazy, although I didn't know why) every day. So I think I'm going to invest in a juicer!

Thanks to everyone who has posted on this thread... this has helped me immensely!

You need between 2-3 grams, if each capsule has 300mg, then you're looking at 7-10 capsules at day.

And as a side note, you should really start eating breakfast, it changed my life 😀

can you take omega 3 fish oil if you are on antibiotics? im on amoxcillin.

Is amoxcillin just like the other antibiotics? aka... tetracycline? etc?

2 to 3 grams is not overdosing =) In case you are referring to the recommended dosage on the back of the bottle, that's only for general purposes so they can't get sued =P omega 3 is such that it varies based on your reason for taking it. 2 to 3 grams is ideal :). I don't have any links on me right now but if you browse through this thread it's somewhere in there lol. Sorry about that, this thread is a huge mess =P But trust us, we've gone through this for almost a year now, time and time again it just comes back to the same doses :). You can start out with 1 gram (3 pills) then go on up slowly if you wish to.
