well, its suggested that you try and eat fish at least 2-3 times a week so I wouldn't say any more than 1 is needed than 1 a day pending on the dose you take

Possibly due to the fat content slowing digestion. I haven't seen research that suggests Omega-3s do this. Try searching Pubmed (http://www.pubmed.gov) and let us know what you find.

Please provide research that has shown this to be true. I've never read anything that suggests Omega-3s do anything to your immune system.

"Coronary heart disease, major depression, aging and cancer are characterized by an increased level of interleukin 1 (IL-1), a proinflammatory cytokine. Similarly, arthritis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and lupus erythematosis are autoimmune diseases characterized by a high level of IL-1 and the proinflammatory leukotriene LTB(4) produced by omega-6 fatty acids."
