I just started taking it. According to Stoll, the brand should have vitamin E included to make it stable. I think he advises taking about 1,000 mg of EPA per day. I believe that the OmegaBrite brand that he recommends was developed by him so I guess he profits on sales. I bought a cheaper brand at Walmart.
