Too Much Omega-3?
Can you have too much Omega-3? Hmmm… if so then I OD’d on it today. Feeling great though, so it can’t be too bad! Hello! Another Green Monster smoothie morning along with some joe (I promise that tomorrow will be something different!). Do you take any Omega-3 supplements? I came across these Coromega Squeeze Packs [...]
