i weigh around 170lbs, and i've been taking fish oil supplements 3 times a day, for a total of 3.6g. i've seen mention in other threads that people are taking 6-8g a day? that seems like an incredible amount. my 1200mg pills are like giant horse pills. 6-8g is 5-7 of them a day. should i stick with my 3x a day, or should i just be taking 3 in the morning and 3 at night?

If you are taking flax seed,you shouldnt need fish oil and vice versa....

500-100 mg a day is good enough,just make sure you are taking a TOP quality oil.....
