Reply With QuoteTaken from Healthnotes:-
I think Fish Oil caps are usually around 1 -1.5g each.Most researchers studying the effects of EPA and DHA in humans who have a variety of health conditions have given those people at least 3 grams of the total of EPA plus DHA—an amount that may require 10 grams of fish oil, because most fish oil contains only 18% EPA and 12% DHA.

fish oil caps
i just got my fish oil caps today, i know it's been discussed before but about how many should i be taking a day, just enough to fill out my fat requirements for the day? I am currently eating approximately 3200-3500 cals. Each cap has 1 gram of fat.

I say just take enough so that you meet your daily fat requirements. You need to get your fats from other sources too, so don't go gobbling 30 a day. Probably 2 of them after a few of your meals will suffice unless your diet really lacks fat.

Jodi, My question is not directly related to this thread, but is connected to it. But i may very well be on the wrong track. Originally Posted by Jodi

So assuming i were to follow the above suggestion for myself as i am bulking as well, that would 2500 x 8 = 20000iu. Plus my daily multi vit pill consists of 3500iu. So total would be 23500iu. Toxic levels are suggested to be from 10000iu for an adult. (One source http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?t...rient&dbid=106). Or are the fish oil caps referred to above a different story???
