The FDA reckons that 3g of fish oil daily is safe.Inuit (Eskimos) get about 16g of fish oil daily in their regular diet with no obvious problems. They appear to suffer little depression and I note that the level of bipolar in Iceland is 0.2% as compared to 7% in Germany.The incidence of schizophrenia is similar in Iceland and Germany though.One of the benefits of fish over fish oil is that you get selenium,a good antioxidant. On the other hand you get mercury in fish but not in fishdoil.Probably some fish and some fish oil would be best.
