Studies carried out on people taking a high dose fish oil have only found a few minor side effects occurring. These were bloating, nausea, belching and diarrhea. Most of them went away when the dose was lowered. Personally I have found that belching only occurs when the oil is not fresh. The manufacturer that I buy my oil from guarantees that his oil is fresh, and what's more he says that he will refund your money if his oil causes you to burp. You can not get a better guarantee of freshness than that. There was a concern that high doses could lead to internal bleeding. But a study of people with heart disease who took 8,000 mg of fish oil per day (in addition to aspirin, an anticoagulant) found no increase in internal bleeding. Some studies found high doses worsen blood sugar control in people with diabetes. But other test found no effect. However just to be on the safe side, if you have diabetes, consult with your doctor before starting a course of Omega 3 supplements. In any case do not take no more than 2,000 mg per day. The benefits to your brain, and your heart far outweigh any possible side effects. But remember there are cowboys in this industry and some of the do not purify their oil. This puts you at risk of getting poisoned with lead, or mercury poisoning. These side effects are horrific, and can cause severe damage. Do not buy an oil unless it has been purified by a process called molecular distillation to remove the impurities such as lead, mercury and PCBs etc. this process will give you the purest oil you can buy. Some times it is called pharmaceutical grade oil. This oil will make high dose fish oil much safer to take. I would not recommend taking a high dose fish oil unless under the supervision of a health professional. I hope you have found this article to be of some benefit to you.
