How to Take Fish Oil Pills

If you are not getting the amount of Omega 3 that your body needs to function properly you should highly consider taking fish oil pills. The pills can be purchased at your local drug store or at a health food store.

Taking fish oil pills would be a great way to add Omega 3 to your diet, which is beneficial to keeping your body healthy. Fish oil is not only beneficial in reducing stress, but it also can be used to reduce your cholesterol levels. It is recommended that you purchase fish oil pills that contain approximately 30 percent of your daily amount of RDA and DHA. The bottle you will be looking for should say that each pill contains 120 milligrams of DHA and 180 milligrams of EPA.

1. Take one of the fish oil pills with a glass of water every day for the first week. It is recommended that you take the pill at the same time of day, preferably in the morning. This should be done to help your body get accustomed to the fish oil.


2. Increase the amount you take to two pills a day on the second week. It is recommended that you take one of the pills in the morning and the other one at night before going to bed.


3. Increase the dosage to three fish oil pills per day after taking them for the first month. This should only be done if you have no serious medical conditions. If you have a history of medical problems it is recommended that you speak with your physician about the dosage you should take.
