Dr. Sai Ram,
Sanjay referred to me to answer your question. He and I collaborate in India. My company serves your needs and was formed to serve those needs offering the next generation plant based omega-3, 100% vegetarian. We may be able to send small quantities to India.
Your question is on RA and oils for omega-3. The most common supplement use of omega-3s for joints is in combination with glucosamine and chondroitin. Omega-3s are not directly involved in immune processes. Omega-3 helps baseline inflammation over time. Olive oil will not help for omega-3s, although olive oil is low in the omega-6s. Removing sources of omega-6, like reducing salt for example, is advisable as a dietary intervention along with at least 600 mg DHA/EPA daily, 2 of our softgels. We also have 3 ounce liquid oil bottles as an option.
