I had to dig out my bottle of Omega 3 and see. The brand is Natural Factors and it's called " RxOmega-3 Factors " According to the info on the back of the bottle, one capsule contains 1065mg fish oil concentrate and indented beneath that is: Omega-3 fatty acids: 630mg EPA 400mg DHA 200mg I take two of them a day but it sounds as if I'd have to take about 8 capsules a day to get to the recommended grams of EPA and DHA. sky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 http://www.omegabrite.com/products/gelcaps.html this is a site from OMGEGA Brite EPA that the Huntington Disease Community has come to trust. I have my boys take 6 caps a day (taking 3 in AM and 3 in PM).. it's good for the heart too!.. You can order it online and even set up a reorder program..

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 I taste the fish throughout the day. I take flax seed oil which some references say is as good as fish oil.
