An adequate fish oil dosage depends on the omega3 concentration. If 50% of the oils are omega3s, most sources suggest 1000mg per day for kids and 2000mg per day for adults. If you have never taken this type of supplement, start out with the lower dose and see how it affects you.
The oils have something of a laxative effect in some people. Your grandparents probably took cod liver oil to relieve constipation. No one should take cod liver oil, today, because the Atlantic cod is loaded with impurities and liver oils contain too much vitamin A. Vitamin A can be toxic at high doses.
Fish Vitamins
The primary benefit of supplementation has to do with the lack of fatty-fish in the average person's diet. We are advised not to eat too much of a single species over the course of a month, because of mercury and PCB contamination. But, if we don't eat some fish every day, we don't get any DHA.
A good fish oil dosage makes up for that shortcoming in the diet. DHA is an omega3 fatty acid that is abundant in the brain and the retina of the eye. Studies indicate that DHA supplementation is beneficial for depression and ADHD. It is hoped that DHA supplementation may reduce the risk of a degenerative eye disease called age-related macular degeneration.
There are many other benefits to supplementation, as well. In one recent study, researchers concluded that 1000mg per day for three months increases the skin's firmness.
If you are sure to choose a high quality supplement that provides at least 500mg of omega3s per day, a 1000mg fish oil dosage might make you look younger and feel younger, too.

For optimal benefit, fish oil must be incorporated into cell membranes. As demonstrated in a human clinical trial, Wholemega has been shown to incorporate into peripheral blood mononuclear cells--allowing the fish oil to provide its beneficial effects.
Additionally, Wholemega has been shown (see chart) to down-regulate inflammatory arachidonic acid (AA), significantly improving the balance of inflammatory AA to anti-inflammatory eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA).* Also, preliminary data shows Wholemega may down-regulate inflammatory markers, such as LDL ("bad") cholesterol and C-Reactive Protein.*
A human clinical study (see chart) demonstrates the change of essential fatty acid content (EPA & DHA) in cell membranes (PBMC) after consuming Wholemega:
Wholemega, however, delivers oil that is striking in its color and transparency. The brilliant hue in Wholemega comes from Astaxanthin--an antioxidant that is naturally found in wild salmon.
Wholemega Fish Oil | New Chapter’s gentle extraction process delivers a brilliant hue and preserves beneficial compounds. | "Purified" Fish Oil | Dull, yellow hue caused by chemical processing removes many beneficial compounds. |
By using only sustainably caught Alaskan salmon--among the world's cleanest and most pure fish stocks--an extra-virgin, low-heat process is all that's required to produce Wholemega. This process preserves the natural color, clarity, and viscosity of the salmon oil, as well as numerous other beneficial compounds, including natural Vitamin D.
In fact, the oil in Wholemega is so pure and untainted that it's delivered from a food-grade, government-inspected facility. To ensure absolute quality, Wholemega oil is extensively tested for detectable contaminants.
