and they shouldn't be expensive.
If they are double strength? Only two a day is needed for most people.
If they are regular type with about 150mg EPA and DHA in them, then 3 a day is more like it.
I always suggest you start at one a day for a week, then increase.
I do know that people with SEVERE autoimmune issues are using 13-15gms a day... of the regular oil. I had a patient with a serious kidney failure that did that with his doctor's supervision and he recovered without a transplant!
Fish oils today are very diverse. There are ones with more EPA (anti-inflammatory= OmegaBrite), or higher in DHA (like my son used for his ADHD= Carlson's super DHA). There is even a vegan EPA now, but it is not high dose.
The RX Lovaza is similar in strength to a double strength OTC type now. We buy that type that is enteric coated and very reasonably priced at both SAM's club and CostCo.
