How Much Omega-3 Should You Take?
Although no daily NRV is established for Omega-3, the International Society for the Study of Fatty Acids and Lipids recommends adults consume a minimum of 250mg of combined EPA and DHA daily. Napiers Arctic Omega-3 delivers 500mg of combined EPA and DHA per daily serving — double that recommended minimum — in a phospholipid form that the body can absorb and use more efficiently than standard triglyceride fish oils.
The European Food Safety Authority has advised that a daily dose of up to 5g of combined DHA and EPA Omega-3 does not raise safety concerns for healthy adults. Those using blood thinning medication should consult their medical practitioner before consuming fish oils. For general health and brain support, 2 capsules daily is the recommended starting point. As always, speak to a healthcare professional or herbalist before starting if you are pregnant or taking any medication.
