Nigeepoo -> RE: EPA / DHA (Apr. 19 2008 14:22:36)

I (being an old skinflint [:D]) would suggest 3 or 4 a day.

See Post #3.



Eric Marks -> RE: EPA / DHA (Apr. 19 2008 18:46:37)

In omega 3 rich eggs, how much DHA/EPH are in these?



Nigeepoo -> RE: EPA / DHA (Apr. 19 2008 19:41:38)

What does it say on the box?



Mark D -> RE: EPA / DHA (Apr. 20 2008 13:10:36)

thank you nigeepoo. why is it though on the packaging they always tell you to take a lower dose than you actually need?



Nigeepoo -> RE: EPA / DHA (Apr. 20 2008 15:03:14)

The Guideline Daily Amount for EPA & DHA is 0.45g/day. Considering the relatively huge amount of omega-6 in Western diets compared to omega-3, I think that 0.45g/day is pathetically inadequate. That's just my opinion of course!



Mark D -> RE: EPA / DHA (Apr. 20 2008 18:38:52)

thank you for your insight nigeepoo



FrankenJim -> RE: EPA / DHA (Apr. 20 2008 20:26:05)
