Great question. The problem is that I've spent a lot of time investigating fish oil and adhd and I don't think there is any consensus recommendation for the right dosage.

I've seen studies where children were taken like 7 grams of fish oil a day. That's like 20 times or so the doses you list ... But I would never go that high without explicit guidance from a smart doctor I trusted.

I've seen some people say somewhere around a gram a day of epa and dha combined.

But this is all off label, not proven by tests that have been replicated. So there is no consensus on this as far as I can tell.

New to the scene. I was contemplating using fish oil for my trygliceride levels. I did not know there was a connection with ADHD. Can fish oil help you loose weight as well by lowering your triglicerides. I will be purchasing soon. What is a safe level to take. Should I follow the recommendations on the bottle or consult Doctor. I have other illnesses - Bi-Polar, Axiety disorder. Since taking all of my meds. I have gain approximately 50 lbs. What are some evenues besides diet and exercise to help loose weight, or change meds.
