Understanding Fish Oil Labels

I think you’re confusion is coming from the following. Usually when people say 10 grams of fish oils per day, they mean 10X1 gram capsules where each capsule typically contains 300mg of active fish oil. So at most you’re getting 3 actual grams of active fish oil.

You do’nt need 10 grams of active ingredient.

So with the flameout product, you’d only take 4 capsules per day which would provide 3 grams of active fish oil (2200 mg DHA + 800 mg EPA = 3000 mg = 3 grams total fish oil).

Since there are nearly 1100mg actie fish oil in teh Vitamin World product, you’d only need 3 tsp per day to get ~3300mg = 3.3 grams active fish oil.

Hope that makes sense

If that is in fact true then yes it makes sense. Just wondering why people insist on making recomendation of 10g per day. So everyone is making the error of assuming ALL fish oil caps are created equal in assuming they are 1g each? So how many grams a day of fish oil should we be shooting for as athletes?
