 See Kathy Kendall Tackett's excellent article. "Can Fats Make You Happy?"
at
http://uppitysciencechick.com/can_fats_make_you_happy.pdf
for Omega 3 info. She also has a couple of good articles on Omega 3s there.
The article includes suggested brands!
I take her recommended dose for "prevention of depression" and find that I
am known as "the lady with the smile" -- I"m naturally happy anyway but this
regimen has made me downright joyous.

Recommended Dosages

200-400 mg minimum DHA for prevention of depression

• This recommended amount may prove to be on the low side. In cultures where
women eat a lot of fish, the average DHA that they consume is 1,000 mg/day.

1,000 mg EPA for treatment of depression

U.S. Food and Drug Administration

• Generally Recommended as Safe (GRAS) Levels:

• 3,000 mg DHA/EPA
