• There are experts who assure that for quick weight loss, you must definitely drink at least 500 mg per 1% of excess weight. However, if there is already a lot of fat on the body, then this approach can threaten the oversaturation of the body with vitamins such as A and D, which is not very good. Therefore, it is best to choose an average dose.

How to drink Omega-3s correctly if you want to become less fat: if you want to lose less than 15 kg, you should take:

• 1-2 grams of the drug 2 times a day;
• if there is a need to remove more than 15 kg, then you need to drink up to 6 capsules per day.

At the same time, it is extremely important to apply the tool correctly:

• do not drink it when you are hungry;
• you can use it only in courses: drink for 21 days, and then rest for up to six months.

The percentage of fish oil and omega-3 in capsules can be different, everything will depend on the manufacturer. The usual rate is 1 gram of the composition per day.

Before you decide to start taking funds in capsules for the implementation of the weight loss procedure, calculate the most appropriate dose for yourself. It can directly depend on how much excess weight you have and what your rhythm of life is. At high loads, the number of capsules for an adult per day can increase to 6 pieces per day, since sports people burn much more fat mass.

The best dose of taking such a product is 1 tablespoon 2 times a day, it is better to drink it at the beginning of a meal, or immediately after a meal. You can drink the composition for no longer than 30 days, you can take up to 2-3 courses of taking the drug a year without harm to your health. The liquid formulation does not have a pleasant taste, so most consumers still prefer to purchase capsules. An excellent replacement for this drug also exists (for those who cannot drink fish oil themselves) - to get 1 gram of the required Omega-3 rate, once a day you need to eat 100 grams of sea fish or drink 1 tablespoon of flax oil.

The intake of such a dietary supplement must be combined with food. If it is more convenient for you to consume fish oil in the morning, then it is most ideal to drink the remedy with breakfast. This will greatly reduce the likelihood of rapid breakdown of the acids contained in the preparation.

When purchasing fish liver oil to lose weight, you need to pay attention to the following points.

• The name of the drug. It is necessary that the name contains the words "food", and even better - "medical", if you really want to provide your body with polyunsaturated useful acids. If you want to buy a high-quality drug in capsules, then you should look on the label with the name for the indication of the percentage of Omega-3, while there should be at least 15% fat here, but no more than 30%.
• A particularly important point is the way the product is prepared. Be sure to buy a product if the label says it was released using the "molecular differentiation" method.
• Means in capsules can be produced from both "animal" gelatin and "fish" gelatin. Fish oil in capsules made from similar gelatin will be more useful for taking, but this product will cost much more.

• Take a close look at the release date of the product. The shelf life of a quality composition is only 2 years.
