How much do you take? I only want to take them once a day at bedtime, I bought 1000mg capsules and don't know whether to take 1 or 2.

My doctor told me to take 4000mg's a day. So I take 2 in the morning and 2 at night. He said 4000mg a day b/c it helps with water retention and imflamation in the body that is caused by PCOS.
I was taking 2 a day untill I started getting sick. I couldn't do it with the acid reflux it only tasted like fish each day. I swichted to an orange goo I got at GNC

There is fishless and burpless fish oil that is out now it is new. It doesn't give you the fishy taste that sometimes you may get after taking fish oil. It helps with the acid reflux and if you burp you don't taste fish. It is awesome....
I've been taking Omega 3-6-9 (Fish, Flax and Borage Oils). I take three capsuls a day. I haven't been taking it long, but I think I'm seeing a bit of a difference in my skin and a slight decrease in joint pain.
Research indicates that omega-3s may be better absorbed from food than supplements. Norwegian researchers compared 71 volunteers' absorption of omega-3s (EPA and DHA) from salmon, smoked salmon, cod (14 ounces of fish per week) or cod liver oil (3 teaspoons per day). Cooked salmon provided 1.2 grams of omega-3s daily, while cod liver oil provided more than twice as much: 3 grams of omega-3s per day.
Despite the fact that the salmon group got less than half the amount of omega-3s as the cod liver oil group, blood levels of omega-3s increased quite a bit more in those eating salmon than those taking cod liver oil. After 8 weeks, EPA levels had risen 129% and DHA rose 45% in those eating cooked salmon compared to 106% and 25%, respectively, in those taking cod liver oil.
In the group eating smoked salmon, blood levels of omega-3s rose about one-third less than in the salmon group. In those eating cod, the rise in omega-3s was very small.
Concurrent with the rise in omega-3s in those eating salmon, a drop was seen in blood levels of a number of pro-inflammatory chemicals (TNFalpha, IL-8, leukotriene B4, and thromboxane B2). Researchers think omega-3s may be better absorbed from fish because fish contains these fats in the form of triglycerides, while the omega-3s in almost all refined fish oils are in the ethyl ester form. Once absorbed, omega-3s are converted by the body from their triglyceride to ester forms as needed. Lipids. 2006 Dec;41(12):1109-14.
My doc. told me to take 4000mg's a day. He said for PCOS that some of our weight gain it due to water retention and imflamation in our joints from that water retention so he said the 4000mg a day will help to loose that excess water retention.So I take 4caps a day. I don't necessarily notice a weight change but I feel less blotted.So it is really up to you,you can take up to 4daily.
i was taking the omega 3 and i dont eat sea food and it made me feel so sick so i now take something called meta epd/dha its basically the same but the low reflux stuff. see below
