I'm SO interested in this thread...so thanks to all who have posted in it.

I've read a decent amount about balancing omega 3-6-9 and this is a special challenge for my partner Rachel, because she is vegetarian (vegan) actually. It's particularly hard to get omega 3's--most of the sources are fish, and then there's flaxseed, which some reports claim is estrogenic, so that's not a great idea for her either.

So my question is: does anyone have any info about perilla seed extract? It is from a plant source, seems to be high in omega 3s and I can't find anything suggesting that it's estrogenic.

Thanks for any info...

Jeff
