Fish oil dosage

Let's see the recommended fish oil dosage. The fish oil Omega 3 containing supplements are available in the form of capsules and liquids. The dose is not established. Dietary supplements provide 100–1500 mg combined fish oil Omega 3 (EPA/DHA) per dose, clinical trials of fish oil supplements showing beneficial effects have often used 3–4 g daily (combined EPA/DHA), but doses of 1–2 g daily may be adequate.
Important: Intake of cod liver oil should not be increased above the doses recommended on the product label to achieve higher intakes of EPA/DHA (risk of vitamin A and D toxicity). Several capsules of cod liver oil could be required to provide the same amount of EPA/DHA as a single dose of cod liver oil liquid. There is no risk of vitamin toxicity with one dose of cod liver oil liquid, but toxicity is likely if several capsules are ingested (vitamin concentration is usually higher in capsules).
It is also important to know, thatfFish oil supplements are not identical, they provide different amounts of omega 3 fish oils (EPA/DHA).
