Most people taking fish oil supplements are getting just a fraction of a good daily dose because they just take what is indicated on the label. For a low quality fish oil you want to take anywhere from five to ten capsules of fish oil on a daily basis to achieve the ideal quantity.
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 1000 mg softgels of pharmaceutical grade fish oil on a daily basis to get the ideal quantity of omega 3's.
