The problem so far is it looks like most DHA sources are expensive enough that taking the 8-10x amount of fish oil is still cheaper than buying the DHA.

I suppose this would also regulate the anti-coagulent abilities of EPA since the body will only convert as much EPA as it needs...

Which begs the question, is there any potential negative side effects of a crazy DHA:EPA ratio?
