acids and recommends supplementing the diet with fish oil. Fish oil supplements, she
cautions, should be taken as directed on the bottle. Exceeding recommended
dosages without the supervision of a physician or naturopath could be dangerous.

The danger comes not so much from the omega-3 fatty acids but from the vitamin
A. It is almost impossible to overdose on Omega-3 fatty acids when eating plants
and nuts such as flaxseed and walnuts. Overdoses are more likely to occur when
using supplements. Cod liver oil for example, is high in vitamin A, so it is particularly
important to adhere to recommended dosages. Taken at extreme levels, vitamin A
can be toxic.

It is important to know that fish oil supplements vary in the fish sources of the oil, so
check the label. Many fish oil supplements are high in the DHA and EPA omega fatty
acids and low in vitamin A. Also check the vitamin A content of any other
supplements taken at the same time.

Fish oil as a treatment for hair loss can be extremely safe if dosages are not
exceeded. Fish oil treats the hair and scalp from the inside out, and gives the body
additional benefits that strengthen the immune system, builds healthy bones and
rejuvenates skin.
