how many do u take lol? i bought some from GNC and the bottle says 1-2 capsules 3x a day. Is this a marketing trick for GNC or do i really take 6 capsules a day. I weigh 230lbs, 6'2"

I take 9 a day.

depends on the size of the capsules. if they are 1000mg capsules, I'd take 10 a day.

omg. These are 300mg. 10 a day really????

Check EPA and DHA content.

Take whatever number adds up to 3g total per day.

So, if they are 180mg EPA:120mg DHA (this is by far the most common ratio - 18% EPA and 12% DHA by mass in 1g oil) per cap, take 10, as malkore suggests.

Or, in your case, 34 capsules a day. Lulz. Maybe you should get better fish oil. Unless it's really concentrated. Like I said, go by EPA : DHA, not oil mass.

Yep, thats what it is. Whats a good brand to use that i dont have to take 36 a day lol. I got the GNC ones now with are now useless lol.

holy ****, i can't afford all of that oil lol. so would it not even be beneficial to do 3 to 4 a day?

Just take what you can afford. Better to take some than none ... IMHO.

At your weight 10-12 would be better, but if you want to stay at 6, just add 2 tablespoons flax oil to the 6 fish oil caps & you should be good.

trueprotein.com offers 1000 capsules for something like $24. That's more than a 3 month supply at 10 caps a day (which is the right dosage for their stuff). If you can't afford that (and you should be affording fish oil before ANY other supplement - assuming "normal" physiology), welp... get more money. ^_^

Also, do me a favor and don't buy anything from GNC. Ever. Even if you are dying. Supporting ****ty businesses is why we can't have nice things.

Most of the time I would say don't buy stuff from GNC too but in this case, their Triple Strength Fish Oil is the way to go. 1 a day + 2-4 CLA capsules and you are good to go.
