Why Fish Oil Product Is Recommendable?

Hi my name is Carlos. I am close to be 55 year old of age and would like to know which fish oil product and how much would be appropriate to take I my age range. I have this 220 gummies bottle of Fish Oil (adult gummies) from Nature Made and would like to know if it is enough to chew 2 capsules daily as it is suggested in the bottle. I have a sensitive stomach and avoid to take pills as much as I can. I would like to add fish oil to my daily diet. What can you tell me? Carlos.

When taking fish oil we recommend taking omega three fatty acids in the dose of 1-2 grams per day. The formulation of the omega three is not issue it is the amount that is important. Naturally occurring fish oils are best in fish like salmon and recent recommendations are for 2 servings of fish a week. This will still not get you the 1-2 grams recommended but it us a good start.

I hope this answers your question. If you have any further questions please contact us again.
