Most fish oil consumers obtain just a fraction of an optimal dose because they do what is shown on the label. If you are taking food grade fish oil you need to take between 5-10 softgels of fish oil daily to get the optimal quantity.

Pharmaceutical grade fish oil products like that from Doctor's Holistic Rx contain a higher amount of omega 3 fats. You can take just two 1000 mg capsules of pharmaceutical grade fish oil daily to get the optimal quantity of omega 3 fats.
