You can start eating salmon. We have to have a certain amount of Omega-3's daily to maintain health. If you do not consume any, you are deteriorating. Omega-3's are ESSENTIAL, like Vit C is. We die without them.

Your question should be about amounts in excess of what is needed in the diet already.

Larger than dietary amounts are given by doctors for lowering triglycerides. Lovaza is the name of that product.

Hi Mrs. D, I just had salmon last night. I eat it at least once a week. I also take 1 krill oil tablet a day. I like that better than the fish oil. I don't have any burping etc. with the krill oil.

Okay that is okay then. Taking more you should ask about.

I take 2 krills myself. When these are gone, I am going to start the newer larger dose Mega Red. (Costco just started carrying it).

That guy does a lot of reviews on supplements that seem pretty thourough.

Oddly enough, my fish oil is causing diarrhea. I had no idea it was the fish oil causing me this issue. Oddly it didn't happen the first couple weeks but I know it is the fish oil, when I quit even one day it goes away. I cut back from 1 tablespoon to a teaspoon and its better but loose. I also get stomach pain the first 30 minutes after I take it.

This is my first experience with fish oil so I dunno.

Stacy...is there Sorbitol sweetener in that liquid fish oil you take?

Sorbitol is a laxative.

Most people can get by with 3 fish oil a day. Less if you eat salmon frequently. I use Krill oil now, at 2 a day.

But when I started a decade ago I took only one flax oil, one fish oil and one evening primrose regular strength. This is very moderate but even at these low doses, we all saw huge benefits here.

I wouldn't go above 5 fish oil a day without a doctor's supervision.
