Fish Oil Capsules


(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

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!

Each 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

Because these are 50% EPA/DHA you only need to take about 8 per day. That will give you 4G of EPA/DHA

I also dont understand how many to take.

Serving Size: 4 capsules
Cals 35
Fat: 4g
omega 1g
160mg EPA
107mg DHA

Sorry for asking on your thread man but I felt it would be pointless to start a new one.

I think we need a guide on how to buy Fish Oil.

You want to be around 3-4 grams of EPA/DHA

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

I'm sure that wouldnt hurt either..

Thanks for the help.. I guess you get what you pay for. Why do they only recomend 2-4 capsules daily then?
