I'm taking 6 capsules of Optimum fish oil a day. I was wondering is this too much to take? Are there any known side effects of too much fish oil, the same way too much of certain vitamins can lead to health problems.

No, 6 caps is fine...I aim for 1 gram of EPA and DHA daily...that usually takes 6-8 caps

THAT'S why my farts are so awful. I couldn't figure it out for the life of me because when I started my new job at GNC last week, I started farting a lot and it was awful. I thought it might have been all the free samples of chewable papaya enzyme, which aids in digestion, but that would make no sense because it's the things that don't digest well that give you gas.Originally Posted by Rusty WintersIf you can't join'em, beat'em.

I would take 6 grams of fish oil a day anything over that I would think would be too much.
