I'm glad you asked. I went to get the exact numbers off the bottle for you, and I see that my son bought the wrong thing this time. He got a combo fish oil and vitamin D which includes a much lower dose of EPA/DHA than the other one I was using. His pdoc wanted him to take at least 1000 mg EPA. The product I was buying had something like 1200 mg to 1400 mg EPA (plus DHA too, but I can't even ballpark that number for you). The product my son picked up has 720 mg total of both EPA and DHA (no breakdown given on how much of each). That second product is the one I've been taking with this vitamin E experiment.

This pretty much throws my experiment out the window. I'll buy the other product today and try again to see what happens.

Back to the drawing board!
