Also, in the past I've taken Omega 3s and developed cycstic acne from it. I tried flax seed oil and the same thing happened. I posted something to that effect here a few months ago and several other people replied that they had the same thing happen to them. At any rate, I've been afraid to increase the small dosage I'm on currently (though I have a feeling that this brand I'm taking now might not cause that problem).
However, recently I remembered that many years ago a holistic doctor had me try some for a skin condition. It was supposedly high quality stuff that I bought directly from her. I took several grams per day without a problem.
Can you think of any reason why the Omega 3's might cause problems with acne? Could brand purity be an issue?
Thanks again,
Kara
