    Fish Oil(EPA & DHA)

    I was reading in one of the Paleo Diet books I have and it says its good to supplement Fish Oil at EPA-2-3g's and DHA-1-2g's.
    Now, I know what fish oil is, and have some. The label says 1 softgel equals 180mg of EPA and 120mg of DHA. That means I would have to take like 15 of these everyday, yet the suggested use says take 3 a day.

    Does anyone know anything about this? cuz 15 is way more than 3...

    Here is the nutrition label:

    the overall Fish Oil is 1g for 1 softgel, so that can be 3g's in 3 pills, but that would be nowhere near 3g's of EPA and 2g's of DHA.

    imo 6-8 of those softgels are enough. You dont realy want to much EPA or DHA. It can thin the blood to much and supress immune system. Its extremely unlikely that you would run into any negative effect by to much of them. But I doubt they would have any further positive effect either in higher dosages.

    Yeah I think on mine exactly it says to take 3, 3 times daily.

    So I will take 9, not 15 or whatever.

    Thanks for your input.
