> Hi Chris, I was just wondering what concentration you take at once. Do you spread it out over the day? Is there a specific brand that you recommend? Thanks, Karen>
___I take the garden variety 180 EPA/ 120 DHA pills, usually bought when on sale at Riteaid or if I happen to be in a Walmart. I switch brands around so I couldn't tell you what works best - right now, I have a bottle of the GNC brand in the freezer.
I take them whenever I'm eating a meal, the number of pills varying in proportion to the fattiness of the meal (more or less). It might be 2 pills or it might be as many as 12. For example, if I'm eating lots of pizza, I down a lot of fishy pills. I've no idea if this is the best way, but it certainly minimizes seal burps. Needless to say, I try to incorporate plenty of fish in my diet to accompany all those pills.
I just think it's odd that I get only a vague, mild benefit at 'normal' doses, but a decent response at a high dose.
