Many fish oil products and advertisements recommend a daily dose of approximately 500 milligrams of omega 3 oil. This dose is much too low to offer much in health benefits. We recommend a daily dose of minimally 4000 milligrams of omega 3 oils. It is impractical to receive this dose in a gel capsule format. Depending on the product, you would need to take between 4 and 35 gel caps/day to derive any benefit. Furthermore, gel caps dissolve at different rates that are not optimal for omega-3 oil absorption and storage in our bodies. Therefore, all our OmegaMaine omega-3 oils are offered in liquid formulation.
