    Question Fish oil caps

    Good supplement to take due to all the benefits. Just wondering what the minimum dosage would be to take of these per day. How many mg's per day for a good starting point? I would rather get some ideas rather than follow instructions on the bottle.

    lotsof people will tell you 20-30 grahms a day. It gets rather annoying when having to take capsules.

    Yeah, i hear that. I have been consuming around 15 grams a day on average through capsules. Capsules are really the only way I get my omega's right now. I dont consume a whole lot of fish due to cost issues. Canned tuna is about it but I try not to overdue it due to mercury.

    Same here, fish is terrible.

    I take about 12 grams worth a day.

    The last thing I want to be eating is something that swam in our polluted dirty disgusting waters with God knows what in it.

    it all depends on your fat intake really.

    if you need 30 to 40g fats, then maybe you break down to half in fish oil and the rest from another source for variety.

    but personally I have most of my fats from fish oil if not all ..

    I would also recommend Omega 3-6-9 caps vs straight fish oil.
