Poliquin apparently advocates mass quantities of fish oil.The potential for harming yourself is definitely there.
I may try krill oil next costco shop and see if I "feel" a difference from it. Seems worth a shot.
I don't know if you could feel it in a short time.This PDF lists the concerns researchers had in quantifying exactly what they were using for studies.

''The first thing to do is to check something called the “peroxide value” on the COA. This is a measure of rancidity reactions in the oil that have occurred during storage. and should be less than 5 meq/kg.
If this checks out, and you decide to order that product, break open a capsule once you receive it. There should be no “fishy” odors. They should smell like the ocean, but not like a rotten fish. They should also not have a strong lemon or lime scent, which could be an indicator that the manufacturer is trying to mask the rancidity.''
Nice to know! Good link cog!
