Most fish oil consumers are getting a small percentage of an optimal dose because they just take what is indicated on the label. If you are taking a low quality fish oil you want to take between five to ten softgels of fish oil every day to obtain the best dosage.
Pharmaceutical grade fish oil products such as those by Doctor's Holistic Rx contain a greater percentage of omega 3 fats. You need to take just two softgels of pharmaceutical grade fish oil every day to get the best dosage of omega 3 fats.
