10g+, either split in 2/3 doses with meals, or what I do is take it all at night before bed.

You’ll need to figure out the DHA and EPA content to get a valid answer.

per capsule : 80mg of EPA
120mg of DHA

There have been numerous debates on exactly what dosage is beneficial. To the best of my knowledge, there hasn’t been any studies to conclude so. I think I read somewhere that you should take a COMBINED 1-2 grams of EPA & DHA a day?

The fish oil I take has 180mg and 120mg (per capsule) of EPA and DHA respectively. Personally, I take 2 pills three times a day. Split into morning, afternoon, and evenings. But I know other members take a helluva lot more.

Flameout has the highest DHA/EPA concentration I know of - per 4g dose you get 2200mg DHA & 880mg EPA.

You need about 18g of regular fish oil to get he same dose, which again makes Flameout value for money and quality.
