I take between 2-3 per each meal. I also throw in 6 apple pectins a day to that mix too, and about 10 digestive enzymes, and 2 pro-biotics too.

Fish oils are high in EFA and most people dont get enough of that in your diet.
It also helps something called eicasinoids. These are very important for good health.
Also fish oils taken can lower triglicerides so this is good for your cholesterol.
Most people dont get alot of good fats in their diet and this is a cheap and easy way to get it in the diet.

One thing tho, dont take them on an empty stomach.

They contain about 1 gram per capsule so that is only 12 grams of oil added a day that amounts to only 108 calories extra in the diet from oil.

Sounds like alot but I dont think 1 or 2 a day will give you the benefits you are looking for.

Here is a little snip form some articles:
Most Americans are Omega-3 deficient because of our over-processed diets. One of the most common symptoms of Omega-3 deficiency is depression, among other mental health symptoms, and of course depression is common among Americans. NOT ME!

For example, good fats compete with bad fats, so it's important to minimize the intake of trans fats and cholesterol (animal fat) while consuming enough good fats. Also, good fats raise your HDL or "good cholesterol". One of the jobs of this High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) or "good cholesterol" is to grab your bad cholesterol, LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein), and escort it to the liver where it is broken down and excreted. In other words, these good fats attack some of the damage already done by the bad fats. This is very important in an age when so many Americans are struggling to get their cholesterol down, and fight heart disease and obesity.

Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are necessary fats that humans cannot synthesize, and must be obtained through diet.
EFAs support the cardiovascular, reproductive, immune, and nervous systems. The human body needs EFAs to manufacture and repair cell membranes, enabling the cells to obtain optimum nutrition and expel harmful waste products. A primary function of EFAs is the production of prostaglandins, which regulate body functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, blood clotting, fertility, conception, and play a role in immune function by regulating inflammation and encouraging the body to fight infection.

EFA deficiency is common in the United States, particularly Omega-3 deficiency. An ideal intake ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 fatty acids is between 1:1 and 4:1, with most Americans only obtaining a ratio between 10:1 and 25:1 Now this is where the problem is!

EFA deficiency and Omega 6/3 imbalance is linked with serious health conditions, such as heart attacks, cancer, insulin resistance, asthma, lupus, schizophrenia, depression, postpartum depression, accelerated aging, stroke, obesity, diabetes, arthritis, ADHD, and Alzheimer's Disease, among others.

I think you get the picture there are many other reads on this and all point to getting this down the throat
