Your buttery spread - how do they make it solid at room temperature - how is it processed?

If you use regular amounts of buttery spread it clearly will contain significantly more omega six than three which may impact on your three six balance.

Bio availability of long chain omega threes will depend on your intake and ability to convert.

A trial suggested uptake of DHA tailed off at about 2 grams a day which is quite a bit above your intake. Bottled fish oil is more convenient and cheaper for me. There are some vegitarian equivalents but see post by heblaj who provided some links on the subject.

I am afraid there are no definative answers and you just have to read round the subject. Based only on my amateur reading I would err on higher three than six within reason.

Please do talk to your advisors about dietary change.
