How much fish oil per day?

[eiaske]

I'm currently in my late 20s and noticing some issues with my joints. I'm looking to get more fish oil in my diet. What would be a good way to supplement it? How much do you recommend I take and any recommendations on good products?

bros I think for a bodybuilder you should aim for 500 mg of omega-3 fatty acids a day. That's a lot but I think that's a minimum.

You should do combined EPA and DHA. Those are the omega-3 fatty acids that you need. You can also get other types of omegas but those are the best options on top of food.

Try and get some good quality oily fish. Mackerel and salmon are two of the best. Make sure they're wild caught though.

Hi @eiaske

Use 4 g/day of fish oil.

I really think that you'll do fine on 250 to 500 mg of omega-3 fatty acids. That would be a good one. You could run them every day or every other day.

The only thing I don't like about fish oil capsules is the fish burps but you should try drinking a lot of water with them. You should be fine.
