Product Description
The health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil are widely known. But how much omega-3 fatty acids do we need daily? There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this, as body weight, age, or health condition also influence the body's need for omega-3. However, it is important to focus on the content of omega-3 (EPA and DHA) rather than the quantity of fish oil. According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), a daily intake of 250 mg EPA and DHA is necessary for the favorable effects on heart function, while a daily intake of 250 mg DHA is needed for the favorable effects on brain function and vision. But this is just the minimum dosage! Research shows that this minimum recommended amount is often insufficient, especially when any of the following life situations apply:
- serious physical and/or mental stress
- Pregnancy, breastfeeding
- Joint problems, or serious stress on the joints
- Over 50 years old
- cardiovascular problems
- omega-3-rich foods (e.g. fish, nuts) lack of regular consumption
Why is it worth taking omega-3?
- Essential, or indispensable, "good" fat.
- In Hungary, the average fish consumption is low, so we get little omega-3 fatty acids. We need to pay attention to consciously supplement it.
- Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) contribute to the proper functioning of the heart with a daily intake of at least 250 mg of EPA and DHA.
- DHA (omega-3 fatty acid) contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function (with a daily intake of 250 mg).*
- DHA (omega-3 fatty acid) contributes to the maintenance of normal vision (with a daily intake of 250 mg).*
