EPA/DHA question

I don't take this and never have. I eat a lot of wild caught fish.

Thanks, PeteZa. Unfortunately, I have no appetite so I have to get supplements other ways for awhile.

Really depends on your reasons for taking it and your body. For depression, my ND told me 3000 mg a day of EPA and DHA. So of your supplement, I'd have to take 6 / day. Fish oil is tough because there's a lot of junk on the market. I will only take something that is mostly EPA and DHA, and doesn't require 2 or more caps per serving, which basically is only available online.

I get Designs for Health OmegAvail TG1000, which is almost all EPA/DHA (900mg +). I have debated whether it's worth the money, but it's a trusted brand, no burps or aftertaste, and I only have to take 2 a day (I'm on 2000 mg, down from 3000 since getting over antidepressant withdrawal), whereas the drugstore stuff would require many more pills and I just don't know what I'm getting.

With Lyme, I'm swallowing 3 dozen various capsules a day, so minimizing that number is important to me.

This is my conclusion after 2 years of crying in the vitamin aisle because every time I thought I found a supplement, I realized the "1000mg" was only 360 mg of actual omega-3, I had to take 9 pills a day, or it made me burp up fish.
