Thanks,
I'm going to try to increase my dosage. I will do it gradually because I've had horrible problems with cycstic acne in the past from fish oil and flax seed oil. (I don't normally have that problem.) I posted something about that here and got several responses from others who were experiencing that same odd response. This brand I'm taking now (RxOmega-3 Factors Pharmaceutical Grade EPA 400 mg/DHA 200 mg by Natural Factors) has not been causing that problem but I'm only taking 1 capsule a day.K
