A member asked:

I'm a 21 year old female & have started taking fish oil. i take one 300 mg softgel with lunch & dinner. is this too much, too little, or unnecessary?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unnecessary: Hi. It's unnecessary. It will do you no harm, but you'll get the essential fatty acids you need in your diet, most likely from nuts, seeds, and fish. Eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly. To your good health!
