Look on the bottle of your pills to see how much EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and
DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) they contain
in each capsule. These oils are good for the heart and brain, and you need 500mg daily for a healthy heart and 1000mg for the brain. Some pills are 1000mg, but only contain 240mg of the essential oils per pill. So, you really need to take 4 of them a day.
