How Much Is Too Much Fish Oil?

I just went out and brought some:

‘Omega 3 Rich FISH OIL! 1000mg’

capsules. Man I love the way they try to make fish oil look fasionable and exciting ^^; however I digress.

Instead of making another thread about this, here we go:

1 Capsule:

1000mg fish oil
180mg EPA
120mg DHA

How many should I be taking a day, and should I split them up with each meal I take? I’m assuming apprx 14 a day, to equate to a tablespoon worth of oil, is this correct?

P.S: is 180 capsules for ?10 a blatent rip off? seemed a touch steep to me.

Thanks,

I don’t know if there is a Vitamin World where you live, but you can get 1000 of the 180/120 mixture at for $15. I prefer their Super EPA which has a 300/200mg per 1000mg. dose. Probably not a big deal if you take more 180/120’s to even out the dose, but I’m just thinking less gelatin/other stuff. Anyway the 300/200 were still less than $10 for 180. You can probably find a better deal than that though
