Hello @yanksterdoofus, I take a high amount of omega 3 and did some research after my doctor thought it was too high according to the Mayo pharmacist she checked with. I had to do my own research and found a couple of relevant sites. I think you have to be careful with Vitamin B6 amounts because it's a little different than the other B vitamins and can cause some toxicity problems for the body.

Mayo Clinic research recommendations for omega 3 oils:

Thanks, John. On what dosage of Omega did you settle?

Hi @yanksterdoofus, I take 1.5 oz of Manitoba Harvest Hemp Oil daily in the morning which is approximately 6000 mg of Omega 3 and 24000 mg Omega 6. Plus, I take 2 tsp of Carlsen's Fish Oil every morning and every evening which gives 1600 mg Omega 3 fatty acids twice daily. This is part of the vitamins/mineral supplements I take for my small fiber peripheral neuropathy.
