Olive oil contains 10% plant based Omega 6 and no 3.

So you need to look at flaxseed or oil to balance the plant based Omega 6.

Many fish oil capsules do not contain much Omega 3 DHA. I would suggest at least a gram of EPA and DHA a day, but not too much more and please talk to your doctor if on heart medication of any sort or blood thinners.

Quality bottled fish oil is a cheaper way, and it does not repeat these days.

You also need to make sure you are getting adequate minerals. Some soils can be low in some minerals.
