Flax Oil - can't take too much; all EFAs will thin the blood

Is it possible to get too many EFAs?
NO! It is not possible to "overdose" on EFAs. In thousands of studies worldwide, no serious side effects of EFA supplementation have ever been reported. Minor side effects may include: bloating, nausea, upset stomach, burping, and loose stools (diarrhea). To avoid these minor side effects, take EFA supplements with meals, start with lower doses and increase gradually, and/or divide the daily dose into smaller portions. Dividing the dose helps absorption and minimizes side effects.
How many calories are in an EFA supplement?
The calorie count of a 1000 mg softgel is approximately 10.6 calories: 9 calories from fat, 1 calorie from protein, and 0.6 calories from carbohydrate. Both the protein and carbohydrate component are derived from the soft gelatin capsule ingredients.
Is EFA supplementation safe?
Yes. Clinical studies have shown there are no serious side effects to EFA supplementation...
Dosages as high as 15 grams of EFA oils daily have been used in clinical research without any signs of complication. Patients occasionally report slight upset stomach, burping, and/or minor bowel disturbance such as loose stools. To decrease the chance of minor side effects, take your EFA supplements with meals, and divide the dose throughout the day. For example, if you take 4 capsules per day, take 2 with breakfast and 2 with your evening meal.
All EFAs contain properties that may thin the blood, which can increase bleeding times. Consult your physician before starting any treatment.
