The majority of fish oil takers are getting a small percentage of the recommended dose because they only take what is indicated on the bottles label. If you are taking a food grade quality fish oil supplements you should take between five to ten softgels of fish oil every day to get the recommended dosage.
Pharmaceutical grade fish oil products such as those by Doctor's Holistic Rx contain a much higher concentration of omega 3 fatty acids. You only have to take two capsules of pharmaceutical grade fish oil every day to get the recommended dosage of omega 3 fatty acids.
