According to Healthy-Oil-Planet.com, the popular 1000 mg soft gel of fish oil may mislead many consumers. Fish oil is an excellent source of the omega 3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
However, a 1000 mg soft gel doesn't contain 1000 mg of EPA and DHA. The majority of fish oil soft gels provide a 30% concentration of EPA and DHA combined; typcially 180 mg of EPA and 120 of DHA totalling 300 mg of the 1000 mg soft gel.
It's important you look at the ingredient label of the fish oil to determine the mg amount of EPA and DHA per soft gel. This will allow you to calculate the total amount of omega 3 fatty acids per soft gel.
The majority of studies on fish oil have not found any negative side effects from using a 1000 mg dosage of fish oil. The most common side effect is gastrointestinal, including fishy burps, gas and diarrhea. These minor side effects can be prevented by using a highly-purified, pharmaceutical-grade fish oil supplement that has been tested to contain minimal amounts of contaminants and high concentrations of omega 3 fatty acids.
