Daily: Different formulations given different instructions. They should be taken daily for sure, but some formulations may say twice daily, whereas others may even suggest three times a day. Read the bottle.

Fish oil: Fish oil dose is determined on what you are taking them for. Fish oil is a mild blood thinner so please check w/your doctor to make sure it is safe for you to take fish oil. Good quality fish oil contains about 50 per cent combo of EPA & DHA and the other 50 or less in other fish oils. Please read the label and follow dosing directions. Peace and good health.l
