hi Deb,

In general, the fish oil capsules, whether salmon or a blend (salmon, sardine, mackerel, anchovy) ... are 1000mg .. and each will contain a standardized amount of DHA:EPA fatty acids. Specifically, 180:120 .. you should see this on the label. That means each 1000mg capsule of the fish oil contains 180mg DHA and 120mg EPA.

The above study was done with 1.8g (1800mg) of DHA .. which is 10 capsules. The dose was taken at breakfast. That's a lot!!! Also make note of the fact that DHA and EPA can have blood-thinning effects, so do NOT try this out without talking to your doctor first.

Alternatively, you could eat a LOT more fatty cold-water fish
