How much fish oil
Ok I know this is like beating a dead horse, but I still ain't got it.
Here is the data on the capsules I purchased
Take 2 daily
10 calories
natural fish con. 850mg
epa 240mg
dha 200mg
I really lose it between grams and mg
How do I figure the correct amount for my body weight?
Thanks

I would stick mainly with flax oil and fish oil. Although there is place for such like olive oil.

There is no dietary amount recommended for fish oil (omega3). I have seen doctors say to take 1tbsp of flax per 50lbs. of bodyweight. I usually take 2-3tbsp a day (about 24-38g daily).

Natural PB is a fat...............it doesn't contain omega 3 or 6.

Natty PB is Omega 6
fish oil or flax oil are omega 3
I believe UDO's blend is supposed to be a perfect blend of omega 3, omega 6 and omega 9?? Don't really know, I have never used the stuff.Optimum Sports Performance

why take flax? It has to convert, it is like a Prohormone to fish oil.
