depends on what your goals are.
For overall health my bottle says 1 to 3 a day.
however I use a much higher dose to help my joints. I take near 10-12 grams a day and I have ZERO joint pain anymore.
And my blood pressure has dropped 20 points since going from 3/day to 10The Truth on test boosters

when people talk about grams of fish oil are they taking the combined content of both epa and dha?
e.g. M caps are 330 EPA 220 DHA. Combined that is 550,
so if i take 10 caps a day that is 5.5g of fish oil?***Never give up! You will get to where you want to be just keep going.***

That would 5.5 grams of EPA/DHA.
There is other "marine oil" in there as well. If you notice, the EPA/DHA content usually accounts for about 1/4 of the total complex, i.e., a serving size for example is 2 pills, 2 pills = 1 serving. 1 serving = 2000 mg of Marine Oil Complex, of that 2000 mg only 500 mg of it is EPA/DHA.UNCnate@gmail.com, B.Sc, ASCM CPT

Necessary dose of EPA/DHA for best effect is likely around 1-2g daily. 3 is excessive.

Can I throw a Doctor in front of my name (one that practices clinical medicine, to boot) and get more cred?
