Omega-3 question

[evansss]

Ive been doing some research on the benifits of taking a daily Omega3 Supp and was just wondering how many mg's one should take daily. Currently I have a bottle of "Ultimate Omega" by Nordic Nature. The breakdown is as follows:

2 Soft gels
EPA 650 MG
DHA 450 MG
Other Omega 3's 180MG
Total Omega 3's 1280 MG

Oleic Acid (Omega 9) 56MG

It says that the 1280 MG is 70 percent of ones daily requirements but I want some other opinions.

I generally take 7-10 grams/day (each softgel is about a gram).

I take around 10 grams per day as well. My soft gels are 1g (1000mg) each

I take around 10 grams per day as well. My soft gels are 1g (1000mg) each

spread out throughout the day or do you take a majority of them the first part of the day?

 

[gumbo]

Spread em out. I take my last one with my shake before bed.

i wonder why they say a little bit under 2 grams is 70 percent of required intake. 10 grams is a big difference.
