Hi, in general fish oil can be used for reducing cholesterol, improve memory, helps in osteoarthritis/ knee pain etc.
It is a supplement and with no known side effects.

Anyone is able to take it as it is a supplement and not medicine.
Hope that helps smile.gif

Actually most people just buy any cheap fish oil. Most Malaysian public do not know about IFOS/CRN/GOED

120capsules x 2 bottles =rm70

EPA -180
DHA - 120

After reading the above link, I wouldn't go anywhere near an Australian fish oil unless they can provide me a certificate of analysis.

The DHA and EPA is too low. Usually the recommended one is at least double of what you posterd ie. EPA - 360 DHA - 240
So this comes into factor how many softgels one need to consume to reach that limit. Higher if one have health problems. So a bottle of fish oil might seems cheap but can actually be expensive.

Also need to keep in mind if the fish oil is fresh. Not consuming fish oil is better than consuming rancid fish oil. How to know?
1. Bite into the fish oil
2. Receive a certificate of analysis.

if thats the case, can i consume 2 capsules per serving ?

that would literally double up the dosage as required.
