Doctor told me to take six 1200 mg of fish oil daily seems like too much, why the big increase ?

Hello kicmom, After seeing such a high dose I contacted one of my specialists and was told that it does sound like a high dose, I would double check with your doctor again to find out the exact reasonning for such a high dose. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing too. Good luck to you and please be careful when in doubt ask for another opinion it is your right.

Sounds like a minor disagreement. Maybe you should double check with your doctor and also ask your pharmacist. You can buy this supplement OTC, check out what mg are available. Maybe 1200 isn't as high as you think?
