Bizi,
I do not know why.
I would have to find my scribbled notes from yesterday and my life is a big mess right now.
I will look someday.
Right now I store my scraps of paper in one pile/ bag.
Regarding doses: This chart shows studies for fish oil for treatment of bipolar:

Dr. Stoll's early and important study (1999) said 9.6 grams. Others on the chart used less.
Dr. Phelps (the guy who runs the web site) says the higher the EPA in the pills, the fewer pills you need because the EPA is important
--- although I recently read somewhere that it is not only abut the EPA.
The DHA plays an important too.
The current fish oil pills that I have in my house come in 1 gram sizes.
(1000 mgs)

They do not feel too big for me. For the past week I have been trying to remember to take 2 a day (2 grams).
She did tell me why she wanted me on them.
I do not remember.
