The BIG question I have is how much should you take on a daily basis (even if you just want to count the mgs of DHA). If I am having wild salmon (let's say today), I don't supplement much. I supplement a bit more if it is farmed salmon. But what about other days? How much is enough and how much is too much (if you are not diligently tracking your Omega 6 intake but you are not eating alot of junk and using the right oils)?
