Suggestion on dose of fish oils?
Hey guys, i just got back from holland and barrets with the 'naturally inspired SUPER EPA fish oil concentrate' (read FAQ not to take cond liver oil. Each pill contains:
1000mg fish oil
300mg EPA
200mg DHA

I need help on how much i should be taking? on the bottle says do not exceed reccomended dose (1-3 a day) but i have seen people taking around 7?!
While i was there, i asked for green plus but cudnt find any, anyone from UK know a product similar to green +?

Thank you in advance!

Every time I see a fish oil thread, I think to myself that MikeMartial is crying somewhere.

Whoa there hoss. I'd like to let the noob read the FAQ and find out for himself without waiting to be spoonfed. But since the feeding has started, let's clarify:

3-6g daily total combined EPA/DHA.

Take from the FAQ thread:


How Much Should I Take?

There's a lot of variation in opinion on this; some recommend low doses in the range of 900mg EPA/DHA, others opt for extremely high doses of over 10g; Tolson recommends between 1-4g, and Berardi between 3-6g.

Many of the regular posters who frequent this board take approximately 3g daily; this would translate into 10 capsules of 180/120 strength. So at 300mg of combined EPA and DHA (get it? 180mg EPA and 120mg DHA would equal 300mg combined EPA/DHA) per capsule, you'd have to take 10 a day. Break 'em up into 2 caps 5 times a day, or 3 caps morning/noon, 2 caps supper/bed, or whatever. I'm sure you're smart enough to figure that part out.
