    I take 3 after each meal + right when I wake up every morning.

    1.86g of EPA and 1.5g of DHA have been shown to improve muscle protein synthesis. For rheumatoid arthritis, fish oil providing 3.8 grams/day of EPA and 2 grams/day DHA has been shown to be beneficial, so I would assume this would also provide joint health benefits in someone who does not have arthritis. For reducing high blood pressure, 2.04 grams of EPA and 1.4 grams of DHA per day appears to be beneficial.

    I have references too, but I can't post them until I get a few more posts under my belt...Sorry : /
