Generally, the studies done so far on fish oils and mood are in the 6 to 9 gram/day range. My Pdoc suggests at least 5 grams per day of omega-3 fatty acids to help with depression/mood stabilization. I currently take 6 - 8 1,000 mg fish oil capsules daily. It's only been two weeks into my fish oil regime but I do think they are vital especially for people with mood problems. I don't notice much if I take just 1,000 mg/day but when I take about 6 of these I notice a calming effect.
