Real quick fish oil question

I take 9 a day.
Check EPA and DHA content.
Take whatever number adds up to 3g total per day.
So, if they are 180mg EPA:120mg DHA (this is by far the most common ratio - 18% EPA and 12% DHA by mass in 1g oil) per cap, take 10, as malkore suggests.
Or, in your case, 34 capsules a day. Lulz. Maybe you should get better fish oil. Unless it's really concentrated. Like I said, go by EPA : DHA, not oil mass.

Yep, thats what it is. Whats a good brand to use that i dont have to take 36 a day lol. I got the GNC ones now with are now useless lol.
Just take what you can afford. Better to take some than none ... IMHO.
trueprotein.com offers 1000 capsules for something like $24. That's more than a 3 month supply at 10 caps a day (which is the right dosage for their stuff). If you can't afford that (and you should be affording fish oil before ANY other supplement - assuming "normal" physiology), welp... get more money. ^_^
Also, do me a favor and don't buy anything from GNC. Ever. Even if you are dying. Supporting ****ty businesses is why we can't have nice things.
Most of the time I would say don't buy stuff from GNC too but in this case, their Triple Strength Fish Oil is the way to go. 1 a day + 2-4 CLA capsules and you are good to go.
