Omega-3 Fatty Acid mg per day.

You might consider switching to flax oil gel caps (6 gel caps = ~3500 mg Omega 3) UNLESS you are on any kind of anticoagulant therapy as a result of your bypass surgery. This would include aspirin, baby aspirin, coumadin, warfarin, or any other over-the-counter or prescribed anticoagulant. Flax oil has the same blood thinning properties as aspirin so you should not combine it with other anticoagulants.

I read one study that recommended using flax oil in the spring and summer and fish oil in the fall and winter to vary the sources of the ALAs. If you're taking fish oil under the advice of your dr, I would suggest discussing any change with him/her before switching.

You should ask your cardiologist how much you should take.

Best to eat foods like salmon, that are rich in this metabolite.
