How much omega 3 fatty acid should an adult take?

This will, of course, vary, depending on each individual. Are you getting any omega 3s from your own diet? If not, taking a fish oil supplement will be your best bet in getting the appropriate amount of omega 3 fatty acids. After talking with my own doctor and with heart disease running in my family, he suggested an extra strength form of fish oil supplements. I've been taking Metagenics' fish oil capsules, a href="http://www.ovitaminpro.com/epadhaes.html" rel="nofollow"http://www.ovitaminpro.com/epadhaes.html/a for a few month's now. When it comes to really any supplement, I would also suggest you talk it over with your own doctor. Based on your current diet, other medications and supplement you may already be taking, can impact your current body's balance. It's always better to be safe then sorry. Hope this information helps!
