Piscfish Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I am really confused on the total daily intake of total omega 3s. The SFH fish oil recommended dose is 1-2 teaspoons daily for general wellness. Each 1 teaspoon has 2204 mg EPA and 990 DHA, total omega 3s, 3705 mg. The recommended daily intake of EPA & DHA from several websites I researched is from 600 mg to 1000 mg. So, this means that SFH fish oil is way over the recommended daily intake with just 1 teaspoon. It seems like SFH fish oil contain too much omega 3's, so, is it harmful to consume that much omega 3's? specifically on EPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators ShannonM816 Posted January 23, 2014 Moderators Share Posted January 23, 2014 Try this article: http://whole9life.com/fish-oil-faq/ -- I think it replaces the older one that no longer works above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
