Do a google search on eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). That is the omega-3 fatty acid behind all the current research and studies done that show omega-3’s are beneficial for all sorts of mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, and others.
In order to benefit from supplementing with omega-3’s, it has been recommended to take an omega-3 oil or capsule that contains 1000mg EPA and little to no DHA. Like I mentioned above, search Google or PubMed and do your own research.

I ‘m trying cod liver oil. I’m puzzled by the recommandations ( Solgar): one cap per day. ( =1250 UI vit.A and 135 UI vit.D) In former times the children were given one spoonfull a day. I feel deceived ,to ingest the corresponding amount, I need 8 more caps .They insist to respect the directions for use. What is the amount you recommand?
I’m very gratefull for all the great ressources you share.

Krill is so small that mercury contamination is not a problem in any brand.

Dr. Mercola, is the krill oil that you recommend mercury-free?
