what benifits can be derived from taking fish oils, omega 3 and omega 6?

There seems to be a little bit of a misunderstanding... Fish Oil is only Omega 3 fatty acids, but there are some combinations that may add Omega 6 fatty acids (like from Borage Oil or Evening Primrose Oil). Most commonly, if the Fish Oil is with an Omega 6 fatty acid, it would also be with Flax Oil so you can also get the Omega 9 fatty acids.

You are exactly right that the Omega 3 in Fish Oil helps with cardiovascular health, as well as skin and brain health. Omega 6 fatty acids help with skin health and hormonal health (for women). If you only want the cardiovascular health, just go for the Fish Oil... if you want the added skin and hormonal health, you could take a separate Borage Oil for the most benefit. Good luck!

Well you can have the fish oil, but you'll have to stop calling yourself a vegetarian. Fish oil is not vegetarian friendly. They kill the fish to extract the oil. With milk, eggs you don't kill the animal. Flax meal is great for Omega 3s. Make it a practice of adding it to your breakfast or sneak it in a sandwich etc. It doesn't alter the taste of your food.

It lowers cholesterol--which would make sense if you're a heart patient.
