Who here takes flax oil and fish oil. Are they both required, cant you get your omega 3,6,9 from just flax oil.

yes but flax still has to convert to EPA/DHA which is what you want while fish oil is already active.

think of flax oil as a precursor to fish oil, like a prohormone...i take mainly just flax, but on off days i use fish oil caps...
