> Don't know anything about "added" EPA - I don't have problems w/ my brand of Omega 3(OmegaBrite). Each capsule contains 400mg of EPA and comes blister packed, so no problems w/ the product going bad. I have been taking 2000mg per day for about a week and feel pretty good. I haven't had any problem w/ fishy burps either. The oil is supposed to be made in a way that makes it more easily digested.

Wow, blister-packed fish oil-now that is interesting. So, when you say you are taking 2G daily-is that 5 caps a day or is that 2 caps a day? I ask that because most fish oil is only partly EPA. So, if it is two caps a day (which makes more sense), that gives you 800mg of EPA per day (some have said that 1000mg of EPA daily has been shown to have mood stabilization effects). I might check into the Omega-Brite, then. Does the Omega-Brite fishoil you have mention being *enteric coated*? What does your per pill cost come down to?
Sorry for all the questions,
Mitch
