Fish Oil - EPA:DHA?
I've been taking fish oil with the regular ratio of epa:dha (186mg:111mg) @6caps/day as has been suggested here. But I was reading a thread at MM.com where a suggestion was for a product with 400mg EPA and 24mg DHA per two soft gels. Is there any benefit in going with this ratio? opinions? suggestions?

Sure it wasn't 400 - 240? That ratio seems a lot closer to other products.

They said EPA more positively effects mood. But another said that DHA is more required for younger (kids) and older folk.

The benefit of high EPA over DHA is that it's great for depression, mood and anxiety. If you don't have any of these problems, then I wouldn't bother with paying the price of higher EPA or EPA only fish oils.

I use more than just Rob's Essence brand. I use that for an assortment but I use pure, high quality fish oil as well. I don't feel a difference no but I like FA profile on it. I like more fish oil than what is in it though which is why I also use fish oil.
