So my coworker found the worst fish oil supplement ever

Omega Complex

If you read the list of ingredients you will notice that yes, it includes equal amounts of EPA and GLA (omega-6 fat). My question is: is there any benefit to him taking this supplement, or should he just toss it and try again?

I dont know if its gonna do much harm but I wouldn't buy it again after he finishes the bottle. I like my NatureMade double strength. I only take 6 pills instead of swallowing 10-15.

My impression is that most people have a poor Omega 3 to Omega 6 ratio so the last thing we should be doing is supplementing with Omega 6's.

GLA is actually not that bad; it actually one of the O6's that works more along the lines of an O3's.

I still wouldn't buy that supplement, though. There's too much shit in there that's not needed, and it's totally overpriced.
