A lot has been said on the benefits of omega 3 fatty acids, but you will not find any general prescription on the normal DHA fish oil dosage you should take. DHA fish oil dosage to get maximum omega 3 benefits is dependent on following factors - 1. Age - As we age our bodies’ immunity system is hampered so we get exposed to many diseases. Thus, to cope up with the deficiency and increase the immunity, older people are prescribed with slightly higher amount of DHA. 2. Health Condition - If you have a health condition then amount of DHA recommended will be higher than to a person with normal health. People on Aspirin or on other blood thinning pills, should be cautious on the dosage of fish pills. Always consult your physician before you start taking these pills. Ideal DHA fish oil dosage recommended for a normal healthy person is 2000 mg to 3000 mg per day. And for kids it is 1000 mg per day. 3. Quality of fish pills – Quantity of DHA is also dependent on the brand of the fishoil you are taking. If the supplement you are taking is not pure or has higher levels of toxins then not only you need to take more number of pills daily to compensate the loss but also take care of yourself from the harmful aftereffects of mercury and lead present in the oil. Effective one will have less level of toxins. You can take a look at COA (Certificate of Analysis) published by the manufacture. This shows the exact picture of toxins concentration in the oil to the end customer. Lower the percentage better the product it. 4. Ratio of DHA to EPA present in the oil – This can be known from the label of the product. Studies have confirmed that DHA is the most important omega 3 for our health; also body has an irreversible process to convert DHA to EPA if required. So your fish capsules should have high DHA percentages. It should be double the amount of EPA. For best results, a soft gel should contain at least 28% of DHA and 12% of EPA. So there you have it, four factors on which your DHA fish oil dosage is dependent on. To iterate again – Under no circumstances, do not compromise on the quality of the product. Look out for effective fish oil that is fresh, pure, has under gone molecular distillation process, and has double DHA to EPA ratio. And last but not the least; consult your GP before you start anything. For more information on health benefits related to Omega 3 and fish oil, visit my website Omega 3 Brief today.
