So, based on what I learned on these wonderful boards, I've stopped taking the Omega 3-6-9 pills since all I really need is Omega 3 (fish oil). I've noticed that many of you take TONS of these pills (Dan himself takes 3/day).
Today, I bought "Triple Strength Omega-3 Fish Oil Concentrate 1000 mg." It says it has 540 mg of EPA and 100 mg of DHA. (<--to be honest, I don't even know what that means.)
How many do you think I should take daily? My purpose in taking these pills is to lessen acne by balancing hormones.

I also would like to know how much to take. I'm mild-moderate, closer to moderate.
The ones I'm taking are EPA 800mg, DHA 500mg Liquid form.
Thanks

You need all omega's in a balance so they can work synergistically and compliment each others function. Its kinda like driving a car without a steering wheel, you need both lol.
Anyway, moral of the story is that if you take high amount of omega 3 and outbalance 6 and 9 then you will get an adverse reaction. If your diet is heavily burdened and weighted on the omega 6 side then 1-2 of those triple strengths a day would suffice. Dont forget to keep em fridged up!

Hi, I'm in Virginia, and we have a chain of specialty groceries called Whole Foods. They have a wonderful vitamin department, with very knowledgeable staff, and I'll share that they recommend the Nordic Naturals line of fish oils, and for the benefit of added Vitamin D3 the last time I was in they highly recommended their Nordic Naturals 'Omega-3D.' The bottle says to take 2 per day, which they said they agreed with.

Like Dan, I take 3/day. I initially wanted to take fish oil to improve my overall health but I was amazed when my acne astarted to go away! I'd say 3 is the max that you should take.
(I ran out of fish oil last week and have yet to pick up another bottle. I have some spots that are coming back

heard about that brand to be very good hope not only adverts. it is also the most pricey one. if helps with acne it is worth trying.
personally I cant take any pill 3 times a day cant keep track and afraid of over dose.
