Hi
> Waow...interesting stuff about the fish oil. I'm not sure what those particular initials stand for, but I have never heard of them. Can anyone
enlighten me as to how you buy them?In Singapore, we can get them from health stores like Guardian pharmacy, watson's, GNC and nature's farm.
Maybe they go under a different name in UK? I have been taking codliver oil daily (1000mg) but haven't noticed much improvement.
Cod liver oil contains high levels of vitamin A. You will overdose. Switch to pure fish oils that contain only EPA, DHA and vitamin E.
Anyone know what particular brand I should try?
try to find brands that contain high concentrations of EPA and DHA. Those that contain 180mg EPA and 120mg DHA are considered low concentration.
And what dosage? Is this something to do with Omega 3/ 6?Yes, omega 3 plays a part here. I'm taking 5,000 mg of EPA and DHA. (note that this is not the weight of the capsules, but the actual amount of EPA and DHA)
Good luck,
