I've been taking about 6,000 mg of fish oil/day b/c of a suspected blood clotting issue (along w/ baby asparin, cinnamon, prenatal, & red raspberry leaf tea). I got b/w done a couple weeks ago & my thyroid was slightly elevated (nurse just said "slightly", haven't talked to dr yet).

Could the mega dose of fish oil cause an elevated thyroid level?

Thanks!
Traci

I have never heard of that. I read something that says you want to keep your omega 3 up for thyroid health. It could be more of a link of PCOS and your thyroid hormones than an actual cause from anything you're taking!

I know that too much fish oil can cause immune cell problems. I try to limit my fish oil at no more than 3 total grams per day. For instance, I was taking 2500 mg EPA and 375 mg DHA combined for a total of 3 grams, and 5 gelcaps. I have went down to 4 gelcaps
