3 g total EPA/DHA per day

[Heterodox]

Just purchased some more fish oil tablets, i noticed they had different EPA/DHA amounts than the last ones i purchased despite being the same brand, i thought they were the same ones but obliviously not.

Each 1000mg capsule contains
Eicosapentanoic Acid (EPA) 330mg
Docosaxeanoic Acid (DHA) 220mg

So if i take 10 per day, i get 10g total fat and 3.3g of EPA and 2.2g of DHA, Is this ok or do i need more DHA?

You need 6 caps I think. (220+330)×6=3.3

You need 3 grams of TOTAL EPA/DHA combined

If each cap is 550 mg, divide 3 by 550. It's about 6

Ah i see thanks for the clarification, Wasn't sure if it was 3g of each EPA/DHA or 3g Combined.

Combined i need around 6 caps are they are not the highest dose.
