how much do you all have?

[Steveoph]

I used to take about 9 caps of the 180mg EPA/120 DHA . Off it right now while on X-Factor though.

I chose the 11-15, and heres my reason.

Mid America Heart Institute and University of Missouri-Kansas City, 4330 Wornall Road, Kansas City, MO 64111, USA.

The most compelling evidence for the cardiovascular benefit provided by omega-3 fatty acids comes from 3 large controlled trials of 32,000 participants randomized to receive omega-3 fatty acid supplements containing docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) or to act as controls. These trials showed reductions in cardiovascular events of 19% to 45%. These findings suggest that intake of omega-3 fatty acids, whether from dietary sources or fish oil supplements, should be increased, especially in those with or at risk for coronary artery disease. Patients should consume both DHA and EPA. The target DHA and EPA consumption levels are about 1 g/d for those with known coronary artery disease and at least 500 mg/d for those without disease. Patients with hypertriglyceridemia benefit from treatment with 3 to 4 g/d of DHA and EPA, a dosage that lowers triglyceride levels by 20% to 50%. Although 2 meals of oily fish per week can provide 400 to 500 mg/d of DHA and EPA, secondary prevention patients and those with hypertriglyceridemia must use fish oil supplements if they are to reach 1 g/d and 3 to 4 g/d of DHA and EPA, respectively. Combination therapy with omega-3 fatty acids and a statin is a safe and effective way to improve lipid levels and cardiovascular prognosis beyond the benefits provided by statin therapy alone. Blood DHA and EPA levels could one day be used to identify patients with deficient levels and to individualize therapeutic recommendations.

well it is fish oil, some companies make deodorized versions...also omega3 is great and all but avoid an imbalance with omega6. i take 4-5g a day.

I'll tell you what, if you would send it back at a restaurant, it might have gone bad. Dont NP's come in just like a clear plastic bag? It might have spoiled in transit, if it got too hot or something.

But unless they've been making you sick, you should be fine.

[SilentBob187]

Liquid Fish Oil is the way to go. One Teaspoon yields 800+ EPA and 500+ DHA. Or you can be the guy that keeps a table spoon in the fridge next to his fish oil.

...Who would do such a thing...

[Big BAMA]

6g I take three Beverly Int it also has Flax in it too.

[The Batman]

At least 10 grams a day of NP bulk caps. Some days up to 20.
