If you haven’t heard fish oil is going to make you live forever. I was just reading another article making this claim, and almost proving it. Studies are making this a mute point and if you are going to add anything to your diet make it this. A great product is Kirkland signature enteric coated extra strength fish oil; it has 440 omega 3’s in each pill. This is the key ingredient. Look for the total number of EPA and DHA on the back of the bottle. Figure most people will see benefits from 1g per day (roughly 2-3 capsules depending on your product). If you don’t have a Costco membership Sundown makes a very good product as well. Or of course you can always eat fish if you are so inclined.

1. Capsules: 1 g generally contains 180 mg of EPA and 120 mg of DHA.
2. Liquid concentrate: 1 tsp contains approximately 1 to 3 g of EPA plus DHA.
3. For cardiac health, approximately 1 g of EPA plus DHA daily
4. For lowering triglycerides, 2 to 4 g of EPA plus DHA daily
5. For rheumatoid arthritis, >=3 g of EPA plus DHA daily
