Confusion about fish oil-dosage.

Posted by yeltom on January 24, 2003, at 23:27:33

My fish oil brand is Now. There's 1000 mg of oil in each softgel, but one serving (2 softgels) contains only 600 mg of Omega-3s (360 mg EPA and 240 mg DHA). In other words, 1 softgel contains 300 mg of Omega-3s. It seems that 5 grams per day is the consensus, but is that 5 grams of fish oil (5 softgels), or 5 grams of Omega-3s (around 17 softgels)? Big difference. And is 5 grams per day indeed an ideal amount to take, and doesn't it depend on what drugs you're taking? (I'm taking 40 mg. of Celexa, 50 mg trazodone as needed, and 30 mg of Buspar. I'm also experimenting with small a small dose of risperdal, but I don't know whether I'll continue with it). Thanks for your help.
