Can't imagine why you missed it with all that's going on in your life and on
the list right now! lol        :0)

It's been.......oh let see..........years that Alex has been taking the
EFA's. My hubby Jim is the one who's really been more johnny on the spot
researching herbs/supplements. And I've been happy to let him.  :0)

When Alex was younger we'd break open the capsule and put it in hot cereal,
on toast or noodles etc. Now that he swallows pills he just takes one. And
wow, did him learning to do that make life easier. Alex typically takes 7
supplements daily (vit, mineral and supplemental).

The EFA we use is:
New Vision brand (it's an organic brand)
A dose is 2 caps daily but he only gets 1
Each dose contains:
2 g total fat
Polyunsaturated fat .5g
Omega-3 fatty acids  890mg
Omega-6 Fatty Acids  400mg
Omega-9 Fatty Acids 390mg
Gamma-Linolenic Acid 75mg
Organic flax seed oil, borage seed oil, water, glycerin and gelatin.

Karen did a great post (thanks Karen!). Think we had a discussion before on
the different "kinds" of EFA's.
We too began to use it for the brain--looking at the mylenation.
