What's the best way to take fish oil? 1. Check the EPA + DHA content: Don't just look at the total weight of the fish oil. For example, a capsule labeled 1000 mg doesn't necessarily contain 1000 mg of EPA + DHA. 2. Take it with meals: It's usually absorbed better and less likely to cause fishy burps if taken with a meal containing some fat. 3. Don't self-medicate with high doses: High doses may increase the risk of bleeding, and for some people, may increase the risk of atrial fibrillation. If you are taking blood thinners, bleed easily, or have arrhythmias, it's best to consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting supplementation.
