My recent omega-3<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite9" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":eek:" />mega-6 ratio blood test showed a value of 30:1 instead of the optimal 3:1. Despite being lean and avoiding omega-6 rich fries and outside food for decades, the imbalance puzzled me, considering my organic garden-grown food.I was prescribed RxOmega, a high-quality omega-3 supplement, which reduced the ratio to 21:1 in two months. However, upon reducing or stopping the routine, the ratio spiked again. Realizing that mitochondria are made from only fatty acid omega-3, I questioned the imbalance. As I don't consume omega-6, the high Omega 3:6 ratio may result from excessive insulin usage, as I am Type 1 since 22 years. Taking daily insulin injections containing phenol, a known toxin that harms mitochondria, might explain the imbalance. Seeking insights from those with super high ratios and questioning if phenol could be the contributing factor. Despite my doctor's approval of omega-3 intake, he hasn't connected these dots effectively between omega-3 and the preservative in insulin. While addressing the latter may be challenging, it helps if we would know to manage omega-3 levels given the potential impact on health. Understanding the long-term effects of our daily intake is complex, and I'm open to hearing thoughts or experiences from anyone who has faced similar experience.ThanksRam</blockquote>
