@Bo. I advise about 1000mg (1g) of actual omega 3 per day. For me, that’s 3 x 1000mg capsules of my omega 3,6 and 9 supplement.

Exactly how much Omega 3 should be taken daily? Because to my understanding, different brands of fish oils contain different amounts of Omega 3 (depending on the quality).

Hey Mark. Love your site. How much fish oil should I be taking? I see varying comments around web from 1g 3x/day …or even 2g 3x/day.

Thanks!

For one thing, fishes, not just fish oil contain a myriad of vitamins and minerals that other meat products do not have. Firstly, calcium, which in fish meat by far surpass chicken, pig, and cow meat. Secondly, iron since the ocean is rich in algae and is commonly eaten by fish. Thirdly, high-density lipoproteins, which is by far superior since it is reputed to help digest and transport fatty acids to the liver.

Take it from the Japanese who eat sushi. Just make sure that the meat is fresh 🙂

Omega 3’s are really important and people should get them. I was just reading one of my favorite magazines the other day and this is just one study… but it was talking about how Omgea 3’s since they help to fight inflammation, then are not good for muscle growth.

It was an interesting point and relevant to your post. I am still skeptical because again it was only one study. I think the magazine was Fitness RX.
