> Although the GNC still costs less in cost comparison, the TwinLab would cut down on oil intake to get the same dosage of active ingrediants, which seems like a plus to me, although I want to up my intake gradually, before I would consider taking that high of a dosage at one sitting. Do you have any sugestions for how high I would want to safely go to help with OCD and bipoalr disorder (at this time I am on the depressed side)?
Stoll's preliminary research used 9.6 grams/day of omega-3's from fish oil. That's about 30 of your GNC-type capsules a day. I think that maintaining a daily average intake of 5 or 6 grams of fish oil a day is a good objective. Stoll was trying to prove a point, based on an acute treatment protocol. I think that a maintenance dose need not be so high. You're wise to gradually raise the dose. Some people don't tolerate fish oil well.
