I would try and get at least 3 grams of EPA a day, how many caps you take will depend on the potency, the more potent, the less you'll have to take. www.puritanspride.com has a high potency cap, 360mg EPA per cap, around 13 dollars per bottle, 90 caps per bottle and if you buy one you get 2 free.

So it would run you around 13 dollars a month, assuming you're taking in 10 caps a day.

The studies that have shown some of it's great potential have used in the 6 gram range for the most part, that can get kind of expensive though. I think 3 grams is a good starting point and if you can afford more, go for it.

Keep in mind, each capsule is 1000mg but only a percentage of it is EPA/DHA, that's why you want something with a high potency.

I hope to have a fish oil powder soon, to help cut down on the problem of swallowing so many pills, although I know some like to swallow.
