Reply With QuoteEach soft Gel capsul is 1g
You probably want to get 3-4 grams of epa/dha daily. It may be a little more, but I can't remember exactly.
Probably would like to take 4-5 capsuls 3 times a day.
Depending on stats

Fish Oil Capsules
The Supplement details on my bottle of fish oil capsules are as follows:
Serving size - 2 softgels
calories - 20
total fat - 2
omega-3 fish oil - 2g
EPA - 360mg (18%)
DHA - 240mg (12%)
I wanted to take these twice a day, based on the carb cycling diet. It recommends 10-20g each time. How many should I be taking? Also, the bottle says that up to 4 may be taken daily.
Thanks!

Re: Fish Oil Capsules
Because these are 50% EPA/DHA you only need to take about 8 per day. That will give you 4G of EPA/DHAOriginally posted by ajustana

So combine 160 and 107 = 267mg
suppose you wanted 3 grams or 3000mg
Would = just over 11 servings.
the dosage is really low in you capsules, compared to what I have seen
