Quick Read
- Omega-3s are essential fatty acids that must be obtained through diet, primarily from oily fish or algae for EPA and DHA.
- Omega-3s offer benefits for heart and brain health, inflammation, and potentially insulin resistance and skin health.
- Choose supplements containing both EPA and DHA in natural triglyceride form for better absorption and freshness.
- Consider the source and purity of Omega-3 supplements, opting for smaller fish from sustainable sources and third-party tested products.
- Daily intake of 500-1,000mg of combined EPA and DHA is recommended for general wellbeing, with higher doses potentially needed for specific conditions.
