Here I was happy in the knowledge that I'd put the last touches to my diet by adding fish oil capsules and flaxseed (not oil but pre-ground seed) and all the posts that came up when I searched under fish oil etc seemed to indicate that 3 or 4 fish oil tablets would be fine...for once no questions, everything sorted, nothing to worry about...and then I come across a post by vicious talking about the amount of EPA that is desirable...and it hit me-the number of capsules/grams of fish oil means absolutely b*gger all as the amount of epa/dha varies enormously...and to my dismay my capsules have only 180mg of epa and 120g dha...cue panic! If it's actually 3-4 grams of epa/dha that was being talked about then I'm going to be swallowing 10+ capsules a day!
So now I've looked up some pharmaceutical grade fish oil in the UK which I think will be ok, not sure if I want to take 1,800mg of epa as vicious does (if you're out there mate thoughts appreciated!
but definitely want to take enough to make a difference and ensure that it's high quality.
Both of the supplements in the link below seem fine to me although thre is little or no dha, does that matter? Is it only epa we're after? appreciate someone taking a look and reassuring me that they're fine and taking 3 or 4 capsules a day along with some flax will completely transform my body
....or at least sort out the omega 3 side of things!

I apologise if anyone feels that fish oil questions have been done to death but I have searched a lot on the subject and thought everything was fine and this new realisation has suddenly got me all in a tangle.
Cheers
