Specializes in Cardiology

A lot: Sounds like a high amount of omega 3. The important components will be the actual content of epa and dha in the supplement and the number of capsules or teaspoons necessary to achieve that dose- which is probably higher than most people would take, unless taking for specific medical conditions.
