The $35 is for 180 caps. My son only took one a day. That would be a 6mo supply for us. If you took 2 a day it would last you
3 months. (that is $12/month). I think that is very reasonable.

You have to be a member of SAMs club to buy non RX items.
I find those capsules fairly large...so that may be in issue for some.

Is one cap of EPA 647mg and DHA 253mg a good combo?

I'm still having issues when I take this in conjunction with the 400mg x3 daily of Acethl L Carnitine. I'm trying to spread it out on top of the mag that taking. It's a challenge.

That should be fine...take it with food for best absorption.
Your combo is a double strength version...so two of them are equal to 4 regular old fashioned fish oil. The trend today is toward concentrated products. There is even a triple strength one now to compete with RX Lovaza.

After reading the details of that fish oil, it is NOT A GOOD FISH OIL. It is moleculary distilled. You do not want that it is oxidized fish oil you are ingesting.
Also a good choice would be wild salmon fish oil not farm raised fish oil.

I really like wholemega by new chapter since it is from wild alaskan salmon and they do not go through heavy processing like most fish oils do.

http://www.iherb.com/Wholemega-Omega...els/18181?at=0 but they do have their own website... newchapter.com
