Hi.
> just wondering what dose of EPA you were taking.
I was taking 800mg EPA and 500mg DHA.
> do you know that some studies showed an improvement with 1 gram but a worsening of symptoms with 2 or 4 grams?
Wow. I never encountered anything like that in the medical literature. What do you think is the optimal EPA/DHA ratio?
> i take 1.5 grams of a highly concentrated EPA supplement spread out thoughout the day. if i take any more than this or if i take it all together at once i get no effect whatsoever. interestingly at the start i could take 3 grams and get a really good effect but had to lower the dose over time to keep it working. taking too much seems to trigger something that is counterproductive. maybe you just need to lower your dose.
I'll keep that in mind.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
