So Mike, when you say "purity", you mean the percentage of EPA/DHA per gram?

If that's the case, then mine is 50% pure. (Vitamin World's Super Omega-3)

I had a discussion with Alan the other week on this, and he was of the opinion that, like so many other products, more isn't always better, including fish oil.

What I take now is 6 pills = 3g epa/dha.

Obviously you don't know my specifics, but would you say that if I slowly ramped up to say 6g epa/dha, that I would feel noticeable differences? Would those be largely joint related? I know there are myriad benefits to the stuff, but what would be noticeable to me in the short run (over 4-6 month period)?

(I'm mainly just curious, but my asthma has been "less than under control" recently, and I'm curious as to how supplements might help.)
