Omega 3 over dose?!


Question:

Omega 3 over dose?

Is it possible to over dose of omega 3 (fish oil)


Answers: You can safely take 1.5 gm of fish oil combined DHA and EPA a day which equates to 5 capsules of 1,000 mg a day and even more. The recommended amounts vary from 3 to 9 capsules of 1,000 mg a day. 9 a day is 2.7 gm of combined DHA and EPA and 3 a day is 0.9 gm of combined DHA and EPA. No because any vitamin the body does not use will be excreted. You hear it all the time, 400% of your daily vitamin total. Don't need that much, that's why your urine turns bright yellow.
