may say 2.4grms...but that is not the amount of active ingredient in a typical fish oil.
The EPA and DHA levels are much less.
It is confusing but some papers mean 2 grms of EPA etc, not the total weight of the capsule itself.
for example ..RX Lovaza:

Each 1-gram capsule of LOVAZA contains 465 mg EPA and 375 mg DHA, the active fatty acids proven to lower very high triglycerides

My double strength Costco fish oil has 684 mg of combined EPA/DHa in a 1200 mg capsule. A standard strength fish oil has about 1/2 of this amount.
The papers don't always clarify the doses, and labels can be confusing.
