- Directions
- Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement of omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids, particularly for adults on low calorie diets, take 1 to 3 capsules up to 3 times per day, or as recommended by a physician. The capsules are intended to be swallowed whole, and designed to dissolve in the upper part of the small intestine, thus reducing or preventing the taste of fish that sometimes occurs after use of standard essential fatty acid capsules. When used according to directions at levels of 4 or more capsules per day, this product complies with FAO and WHO recommendations for intake and balance of omega-6 and omega-3 essential fatty acids.
