Of the other 10 assessable patients, only one tolerated 18 capsules
(placebo), and three each tolerated 17, 16, or 12 capsules, respectively (all
fish oil). In a recent study, another group observed the clinical effects of
using a dose of 50 to 57 mg of n-3 fatty acid per kilogram per day.13
Therefore, we amended the protocol to a minimum requirement of six
capsules per day
