The health benefits of consuming omega-3 fatty acids are widely known, the problem is that the general population consumes doses much lower than those recommended, so a correct supplementation will always be very useful, the problem is that all Omega 3 products are not the same.
*
Supplement needs:
In the scientific community there is an established consensus on what dose you need to take:
500mg of combined DHA and EPA daily for healthy
people.
1000mg if combined DHA and EPA for those with risk factors for cardiovascular
diseases.
3-4gr combined of DHA and EPA for those who suffer from hypertriglyceridemia
.
Differences between products:
️The main difference is that most manufacturers use synthetic
fish oil in the ethyl ester form, which has a worse absorption, is not the natural form of Omega 3 and is more unstable (they tend to go rancid).
Some manufacturers use plant
derivatives such as alpha-linoleic acid (ALA), which does not have the same positive effects.
The best way to find a good fish oil is to choose a brand that contains the IFOS © seal of quality.
