While I can't hang with Tony's technical savvy, I will say that I have always ascribed to the theory of taking your omegas seperately as they counteract one another(omega-9 is discluded). That is not to say that they cannot be absorbed at all if taken with the 6's, but why not be sure? We already take in so much 6 through so many food sources that it would seem prudent to take the 3 seperated by a period of hours. I always have and always will, but again, that's just me, and the relevance of me saying this is that udo's is blended oils, and that is a flawed formula for this reason alone.

An interesting thing I just learned six months ago, is that bioavailability of 3 is increased when taken with additional fat. A SMALL amount of butter is excellent as it has next to no 6's, as is ex. virgin olive oil as it is predominantly 9's which do not interfere with absorbtion rates. I always used to take my fish oil with a basically fatless meal as to avoid any decreased availability but now I take it with said fats at mealtime as this is a very delicate substance we're talking about, and we want to maximize its assimilation and utility in the body.
