no

in fact i would argue your not taking enough

but heres what i suggest

cut the flax, bump the fish oil to 8 caps a day
add in evening primrose oil at 4 caps a day

i have no idea what amp or adh are...   and you can cut the cla if you want, or keep it in, doesnt make that big of a difference

Eating? Sounds to me like you're just supplementing, I hope you're also eating some other fats.

If you're going to spend the extra $ on omega eggs, don't toss the yolks, otherwise you might as well use regular eggs.

OMEGA-3 FISH OIL (http://www.puritansale.com/pages/file.asp?xs=337B72B3CD78400090DCF629431C3EC7&PID=5232&CID=&CPID=7918)

OMEGA-3 EPA FISH OIL (http://www.puritansale.com/pages/file.asp?xs=337B72B3CD78400090DCF629431C3EC7&CID=0&CPID=660&PID=115)

?

Fish oil has DHA & EPA (docosahexaenoic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid) (the 2 things we want)
EPA fish oil probably just has more EPA in it or it could be just a marketing thing.
