How many mg of fish oil is too much?

The recommended daily intake of fish oil is up to 2-3 grams (2000-3000 mg) per day. However, it is important to note that taking more than this amount can lead to adverse side effects and should be avoided. Therefore, it is best to consult with a doctor or health professional before taking any fish oil supplements.

How many mg of fish oil per day should I take?

The recommended daily dose of fish oil is between 250-500 mg of EPA and DHA combined. This dose is based on the American Heart Association’s recommendation of 1,000 to 4,000 mg of combined EPA and DHA per day for healthy adults. However, if you are taking fish oil for therapeutic purposes, such as for reducing inflammation, your doctor may recommend a higher dose.
