Circulation 2002;106:2755. Most commercial fish oil capsules (1 g) contain 180 mg of EPA and 120 mg of DHA. Therefore, three 1-g capsules per day in divided doses provides the recommended dosage of 0.9 g of omega-3 fatty acids. Fish oil is also available in a more highly concentrated liquid form that provides 1 chorea to 3 g of omega-3 fatty acids per teaspoon, depending on the product and manufacturer. The chorea effective dosage for treating hypertriglyceridemia is 2 to 4 g per day,2 which is significantly higher than the dosage recommended for cardiovascular protection. The FDA has concluded that dietary dosages of up to 3 g per day of omega-3 fatty acids from marine sources are "Generally Recognized as Safe."34 For persons who are vegetarians or nonfish eaters, a total daily intake of 1.5 to 3 g per day of ALA seems to be beneficial.2 TABLE 5 Key Points About Fish Oil Supplements Efficacy Reduces risk for sudden death Reduces all-cause mortality Lowers serum triglyceride levels* Modest effect on lowering blood pressure in patients with hypertension* Reduces morning stiffness and number of tender, swollen joints in patients with rheumatoid arthritis* Adverse effects Generally well
