I did not know this and I have been taking a hefty dose of EPA/DHA.

I would feel worse from the algae oil. Now I take Vitamin E and I am back to normal! The body uses it to stop algae/fish oil from oxidizing. Something to watch out for.

There's this thing about the gamma form.
What do you think?

What about it? I take mixed tocopherols, tocotrienols (about 400ie total) and pure alpha tocopherol (1000 IE). I figure as long as I feel good and have no side effects, it doesn't harm. My blood test won't come in for a while because my doctor is on vacation.

So EPA/DHA should be accompanied by some Vitamin E depending on dosage. And the triglycerid form may be better than the regular form. The more EPA/DHA I took without Vitamin E, the worse I felt.

Where do you get and what brand mixed tocopherols plus tocotrienols?
Only one I could find with all seems to have doses too high, i.e. Total Tocopherols 600 mg (300 mg of this being d-alpha Tocopherol which label notes is 2000% of Daily value!). Mixed Tocotrienols 10 mg.
I take Fish Oil and want to supplement with Vitamin E, but have read excess Vitamin E has lots of cautions (e.g. may increase risk of certain cancers).

I use a product from the netherlands. You wouldn't get it in the US. This may be what you are looking for. https://www.lifeextension.com/vitamins-supplements/item02070/gamma-e-mixed-tocopherols-tocotrienols
One capsule of those is not an overdose.

I take 10g of EPA/DHA. If you take much less, you won't need that much Vitamin E. Don't buy into the fearmongering concerning vitamins. If you dose it reasonably, you should be fine.

I can't find a product here (Canada) with less than 268 mg (400 iu) d-Alpha-Tocopherol plus other mixed tocopherols and Tocotrienols.
You are taking a much higher dose of EPA/DHA than I am. I take 2000 mg/day (1500 EPA, 500 DHA). Have never noticed any effect on my mood, but continue it anyway for other health benefits.
Were you advised to take 10g EPA/DHA and have you noticed any effect?

I have read about 10g in the book the mood cure. Yeah, more wellbeing, less food cravings. I take more than 400 Vitamin E because I take such a high dose of EPA/DHA.

Take those anti vitamin studies with a grain of salt. It is in fashion to say that vitamins are harmful.

I could name you several german/european products, but haven't found anything thats available to the us. I guess with vitamins the us thinks more is better (sometimes it is, sometimes it is not).
