3-6 balance

[mad dipz]

I was wondering what else I could use with flaxseed oil to balance out the Omega 3 to 6 ratio? From what I understand the ratio should be 1:2, but flaxseed is 4:1? Any help is appreciated

For most people, there balance is way too high in in omega 6 (supermarket oils, meat, nut, basically everything but fish and flax). Even oats contains a fair bit of omega 6. + the omega 3 in flax is poorly absorbed.

So no need to worry about consuming enough omega 6, unless this is your only fat source which I doubt.
