Question on fish oil

[Arnoldstrong]

How much is 3-6g of fish oil?
Do I buy any high strength fish oil.

What do I look for in omega 3 eg. 530mg EPA and 90mg DHA etc..

I have two oils that I use. Udo's 3-6-9 blend, and Carlson Fish Oil w/lemon. A tablespoonful a couple times a day! When I finish one bottle I switch to the other.

Amazon!

As a simple cheap one I just use the nature made fish oil. It was on sale and I got buy 2 get 2 free. Depending on needs I may take 4 caps a day split out with meals but each serving has 600mg omega 3
500mg of that is dha and epa. It's not a bad product. And I think you can get it just about anywhere.

most products it will be around 5 caps per day

1000mg = 1g if that helps bro

I take a super maximum strength fish oil with vitamin d mixed it. The dose is 600 mg of EPA and 300 mg of DHA omega fatty acids. The vitamin d addition makes the dose very calming and makes me a little more positive throughout my day.
I just take one that's all that prescribed.

Look for the amount of EPA and DHA contained per pill. You want to see at least 120mg DHA and 180mg EPA per pill. Take 6 pills per day. Ideally 2 with breakfast, 2 with lunch and 2 with dinner.

If you are using krill from n2bm.com - take 6 pills per day with meals.

The exact amount of fish oil per cap will greatly depend on the producer. For instance, the brand of fish oil I am using requires me to take 6 caps per day.

I have 1000mg caps.

Each

Vitamin A = 800 mcg
Vitamin D = 5 mcg

EPA + DHA
(Total omega-3 Fatty Acids = 210mg)

Muskate do I need 3 a day???

I would take 6-10. That is a very low EPA and DHA content per capsule. Most have 300mg+

If you are in the US, you can take Lovaza. You have to get a prescription from your doctor for it but it is pure omega 3. A lot of over the counter have omega 6s which we get in our diet and lead to more inflammation in the body. For what it is worth!

I take 3 pills a day and I can tell a difference. Just another thought

The recent studies published in ************ said that you should aim to have 2,000mg of DHA and 400mg of EPA. So I would look for a O3 fish oil supplement that is high on DHA and EPA. Check out the top 10 of https://labdoor.com/rankings/fish-oil. As you can see with the 1st position supplement, it has 1,146mg of O3 which has 642mgEPA and 397mgDHA. Don't worry about taking more EPA than DHA because a diet high in O6 (as the vast majority of people do) will inhibit some of that EPA incorporation. I hope that was useful. That krill supplement of N2BM doesn't show its content, so unless someone posts its nutritional value, I would choose one of those listed in the top 10 ranking.
