Most people taking fish oil supplements are getting a small percentage of an optimal dose because they just take what is shown on the label of the bottle. If you are taking a food grade quality fish oil capsules you need to take anywhere from five to ten capsules of fish oil per day to achieve the most healthy dosage.
Pharmaceutical grade fish oil supplements such as those by Doctor's Holistic Rx contain a much higher concentration of omega 3's. You only have to take two softgels of pharmaceutical grade fish oil per day to get the most healthy dosage of omega 3's.
