Answer: Fish Oil Recommended. What you are really looking for is the amount of omega 3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, there are in a teaspoon or a spoonful of certain liquid fish oil. This EPA plus DHA is the important number when you want to dose your fish oil. The amounts of fish oil dosage can be expressed in omega 3 fatty acids dosage. You just have to remember that the EPA and DHA, that is the essential fatty acids, are the main active components of Fish oil. Usually, a fish oil supplement or fish oil pill, have 1 gram of fish oil. In that fish oil there are 180 mgrs of EPA and 120 mgrs of DHA. That is a total of 300 mgrs of fatty acids. So, one fish oil capsule or pill have 30% fatty acids. Some fish oil supplements have different fatty acids content. If you buy liquid fish oil it usually has about 800 mgrs of fatty acids/teaspoon. You have to pay attention for theses numbers when you buy it. Keep this numbers in mind to avoid confusion. Many Fish oil pills come with omega 6 and omega 3, together. Avoid these since you already have too much omega 6. 
The AHA (American Heart Association) urges Americans without heart disease, to eat fatty fish at least twice a week. Patients with coronary heart disease to take about 3 grams of fish oil daily and patients with high triglycerides 6-12 grams of Fish Oil. I recommend a minimum EPA plus DHA of 900 mg per day. That is equivalent to 3.000 mg of fish oil capsules with 180 mg of EPA and 120 mg od DHA per capsule. Liquid fish oil is normally more concentrated than that, usually with a spoonful you get as much as 1.800-2.000 mgs of omega 3 fatty acids(EPA plus DHA). Every liquid fish oil manufacturer indicates the amounts of EPA and DHA there are in a spoonful.
