How much fish oil do you take?

ad

I can never seem to get a straight answer on how much fish oil I should be taking. I was curious what and how much does everyone take? I personally take 6 a day of the below fish oil from Costco.

5-7 grams of either Optimum fish oil caps or gnc 1000. Take with my first three meals. So 5-7 caps.

6 of those is alot of impurity's - Costco has a wild salmon fish oil, and a alaskan polluck - you could take 2 each of those a day and be better off than 6 of the cheap stuff.

What makes you say their regular fish oil is cheap?

anchovy and sardine is what the oil is from on costco brand- Not 100% but I'm pretty sure they carry higher impurities (like pollution and waste runoff etc.) than Salmon and Pollock.
