Potential Warnings & Concerns

1. Fish Oil Quality & Purity:

   • Contamination Risk: Poorly sourced fish oil may contain heavy metals (mercury, lead), PCBs, or dioxins, especially if not third-party tested (e.g., by IFOS, USP, or NSF). Look for certifications on the label.
   • Oxidation: If stored improperly (e.g., exposed to light/heat), fish oil can become rancid, reducing efficacy and potentially causing digestive issues.

2. Dosage & Overconsumption:

   • Upper Limit: The FDA recommends ≤3,000 mg/day of combined EPA/DHA for adults (higher doses may increase bleeding risk).
   • Blood Thinning: High doses (>3,000 mg/day) can interact with blood thinners (warfarin, aspirin) or increase bleeding risk during surgery.
   • Vitamin A Toxicity: Some fish oils contain vitamin A (from fish liver oil); excessive intake can cause headache, nausea, or liver strain.
