Yep. My pills come in 1000mg doses.
Mine are 1200mg with 360mg omega-3. DHA and EPA are listed but not as to amounts.
1000mg of fish oil only contains about 120 mg of DHA.
Then, according to this paper you and probably the majority of us who eat fish three or more times per week are over medicating or perhaps taking toxic doses.
If you google DHA dosages it’s common to recommend 2 to 3gms per day.
The case of aspirin may be similar. One would think that since heart disease seems to be a process of inflammation in the walls of the arteries, and since aspirin is a potent anti-inflammatory medicine, one would think that more is better, however researchers have found that there is a balance and that an 80mg is actually optimum, and there is no increased benefit the more you take.

So perhaps it’s the same with DHA. On the other hand, who the h*ll knows.
Also, I didn’t read the whole article, the DHA was given as a supplement or the equivalent in food? DHA is recommended together with Selenium, and Vit E. Was that brought up in the article?
“My pills come in 1000mg doses.”
In that 1000 mg, how much is DHA, how much is EPA? You might be getting only 200 mg DHA.
