Most people taking fish oil supplements get a small percentage of the recommended dose because they do what is indicated on the bottles label. For food grade fish oil supplements you should take anywhere from 5-10 softgels of fish oil every day to achieve the recommended amount.
Pharmaceutical grade fish oil capsules such as those by Doctor's Holistic Rx contain a much higher concentration of omega 3's. You can take just two softgels of pharmaceutical grade fish oil every day to get the recommended amount of omega 3's.
