MuscleTech fish oil!

[Theuusch]

I just bought MuscleTech Platinium fish oil and it says that you take 1 serving daily. Since it has 1 grams of fish oil per capsule, isn't that too low? Would it be harmful to take 3-4 capsules per day? Any benefits of using more than one capsule a day? Cheers

2-3g of EPA + DHA daily. Not the same as total Omega 3.

It should list the EPA and DHA amounts on the back, take as many caps as you need to hit 2000-3000mg (adjusted for fatty fish intake)

[MillerTime07]

Ideally you want 2-4g of EPA+DHA.

why MT would try to compete in the fish oil market with naturally occurring 30% EPA/DHA level is beyond me....especially given their "the most powerful supplements on earth" logo...

Here it says supplying EPA 180 mg
suplying DHA 120 mg

So that is 300 mg combined, but why they suggest to take just one capsule? Isn't in their interest to sell you more of product?

The bottle says to take one serving 3 times a day.

bb.com description says take one pill three times for the 4x fish oil (which has higher concentration of EPA/DHA)...but take one pill for the regular one.

Yeah, 1 capsule daily with glass of water. So it wont hurt me to take it 3-4 times daily?

We have two types of fish oil, 1 that is budget friendly and one that is advanced.
Ofcourse with a budget friendly product you won't get a super big serving.. This is like anything in life.

It looks like you purchased the Platinum Fish Oil, Our other formula is Platinum Fish Oil(4x).

Ideally a healthy male who works out wants 1.5-3g epa/dha.
Any fish oil will help though, Thus a budget friendly one was born.

300mg x 3-4 is 900mg to 1200mg. so it is absolutely fine. many here would even recommend higher dosage. next time, it is probably better to buy fish oil with higher EPA/DHA concentration (at least 50%).

does the physical bottle state 1 pill, one time a day? hopefully MT has not mixed up the directions for their 4x fish oil to the regular one

Id take 7 pills if its a combined 300mg if you arent having any fatty fish that day.
