How much Omega-3 do I need?


The minimum recommended daily intake of EPA and DHA differs between countries and organizations. Below are some examples:
  • EFSA (European Food Safety Authority); 250 mg EPA+DHA/day 
  • American Heart Association; Two serving of fatty fish per week
  • ISSFAL (International Society for the Study of Fatty Acids and Lipids); Minimum 500 mg EPA+DHA/day 
  • WHO (World Health Organization); 200-500 mg EPA+DHA/day. 
Our Western diet contains a surplus of Omega-6 fatty acids compared to Omega-3 fatty acids, which makes it necessary to increase the daily intake of Omega-3 fatty acids up to 3 gram to achieve a normal Omega-6/Omega-3 fatty acid Balance.
