Fish Oil (EPA/DHA)


Fish oil, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. A
high-quality fish oil supplement is an abundant and practical
source of preformed EPA and DHA omega-3 fats, and
adding fish oil to your diet could be one of the single most
powerful steps you can take for your brain’s health and
function. I take my fish oil with me whenever I travel and
only skip taking it on days that I consume fatty fish. One
important consideration: always look at the amount of EPA
and DHA, not the total amount of oil. For example, if your
supplement contains 1000 milligrams of fish oil and a
relatively small proportion of EPA and DHA, you have a
low-quality supplement.
Recommendation: Look to get around 500 milligrams
DHA and 1000 milligrams EPA triglycerides daily from fish
oil or from fatty fish in your diet. Refrigerate your fish oil to
keep it fresh.
