[Used for] 3 Stars Lupus Up to 20 grams fish oil per day after consultation with a doctor [Why] 
Supplementing with fish oil may improve symptoms and decrease disease activity. The omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil —eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid ( DHA )—decrease inflammation. Supplementation with EPA and DHA has prevented autoimmune lupus in animal research.11 In a double-blind trial, 20 grams of fish oil daily combined with a low-fat diet led to improvement in 14 of 17 people with SLE in 12 weeks.12 Other studies also found that supplementing with 10 to 15 grams of fish oil per day,13 or with the amount of EPA and DHA provided by 10 grams per day of fish oil,14 is beneficial for people with SLE. People wishing to take such a large amount of fish oil should first consult with a doctor.
