Fish Oil - Mega Dose?

Diet and Nutrition

Sorry to revive an old topic, but when you guys are talking about taking in megadoses of fish oil on the order of 20g+ per day, you’re talking about total free-fatty acids and not just EPA/DHA, correct?

IOW, the Costco caps have, I think, 1g of fish oil, but a combined 300mg of EPA/DHA. (Flameout has 4,625mg fatty acids and 3,080mg EPA/DHA). I am wanting to up my intake but don’t want to (over) over do it. Thanks.

Yes, the doses are referring to total fatty acids on the order of 20-40 grams per day, usually resulting in 6-12 grams combined EPA/DHA per day.

Right on. Thanks ND!
