Hello,
I've been taking this epa oil (called IQ) I think and it's rather expensive about £9.00 a bottle and you don't get much. Anyway it says to take about 3 tea spoons a day which is about 900mg altogether and I was wondering if that was enough.
It doestn't seem to have done anything so far and I've been taking it for about two months.
Any advice? Thanks........Denise

The figure of 1,000mg EPA is quite widely quoted as a standard amount of fish oil to take,following work by the late Dr David Horrobin,a well known expert on fatty acids.However this result was based on a small sample over a short period and needs further confirmation.Some people need higher doses because they are deficient.It is by the way possible to have your Essential Fatty Acids levels measured by a blood test. I live in Ireland and use the facilities of Biolab in London which costs £48(approx $90).Several labs in the U.S. do the test too.There is some more information on my website at www.omega3.20megsfree.com.
