Hi, I have just received eye-q capsules 5 yrs to adult. It says on the box to give 6 tabs for the first 12 weeks to build up the fatty acids...that just seems a lot to me!! That would be 2400mg of omega 3 and 600mg of omega 6!! And after 12 weeks to reduce to 2 tabs a day. I am very tempted to start and stay her on 2 tabs a day. Although I have read that some parents with children with ASD do give a high dose? Anybody got any experience with this? Thank you

I'm not giving eye q (using vegepa) and I am giving a large dose for first 3 months. I think the idea is to build up their levels and then the two capsules a days will keep them maintained.
