seems to confirm that you must have a ratio of epa to dha greater than or equal to 3 to 1...i use kirunal and metabolic maintenance, check the net....you can get both from 'emerson ecologics'
the epa and dha compete at the transmitter sites and your body has a much better chance of creating dha from epa, rather than the other way around.....do a google...you will see some differences of opionion but i've done what research i can and think the 3 to 1 ration is the way to go
search for dr.david horrobin and dr. m. peet
> I took it for 3 1/2 months, 3 grams (EPA) for the first month, then almost 6 grams (EPA) for the next 2 1/2 months. I took Nordic Naturals gel capsules, and then Dr. Sears liquid, which were both pharmaceutical grade. That dose was under the advice of my psychopharmacologist. I think he explained that people have taken more than that, but there wasn't any significant benefit from more. Have you taken it? If so, how long, what dose? Did it help you? It seems to be a good thing to take anyway, from any health point of view. He said it might help lower my cholesterol - I'll be interested to see if that happens.
