I'm really confused about which omega-3/fish oil capsule to get. There must of been at least 8 of the same type of thing. They ranged from 6-30 dollars a bottle. Some with pharmaceutical grade EPA and DHA or whatever. I ended up getting the Source Natural EFA (has EPA, DHA, and GLA fatty acids). it was 6.95 for 15 days (2 pills a day).

I've never used the capsules. Always used Barlenes flaxseed oil which you can get at most health food stores. It's about 30 bucks for a 32oz bottle and breaks down like this per tbsp.:
calories= 110
fat= 11g(1g sat, 8g poly, 2g mono)
fiber= 1g
flax= 2660mg
Omega 3= 6200mg
Omega 6= 1810mg
Omga 9= 2040mg
You can look up flax seed in the specific diet and nutrition forum for more info on it, I believe it's bookmarked.

Source Naturals is a good brand. I always try to opt for pharmeceutical grade when I can.
