Is linolenic acid safe?

Large amounts of EPA or DHA might result in prolonged bleeding time or nose bleeds. Taking fish oil supplements as a source of EPA and DHA can lead to stomach upset and "fishy" breath or burps in some individuals.


How much linolenic acid do I need?

There is no Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) established for linolenic acid. The World Health Oranization (WHO) recommends that the essential fatty acids (both linolenic and linoleic acids) should comprise 3% to 4% of an adults daily calories. According to WHO, essential fatty acids should make up 5% to 6% of faily calories in children's diets.
