Omega-3 Fatty Acids


Recommended omega-3 fatty acid dosage:

  • For patients without any heart related problems, it is recommended to eat fatty fish twice a week.
  • For patients suffering from any type of heart disease should atleast have fatty fish everyday. There are also omega-3 fatty acid preparations in capsules and liquid forms which are available in the market today which the patient can consider with proper consultation with the physician. These preparations contain EPA+DHA (furhter discussed here) which contains 1 gram of the required EPA+DHA daily allowance for a healthier heart.
  • For patients who are concerned in lowering their triglyceride levels, it is recommended to take atleast 2 to 4 grams of EPA+DHA per day. Still, this procedure is under the advice of your physician.

Note: It is not recommended to take more than 3 grams of omega-3 fatty acids without a proper advice from the doctor. This is because of the fact that high intakes of this fatty acid may possibly lead to excessive bleeding in some people.

Aside from keeping the heart healthy, omega-3 fatty acids are also proven by doctors and researchers to combat autism, low birth issues and some psychological disorders. It is also beneficial to people who are suffering from:

  • Diabetes
  • Menstrual cramps
  • Asthma
  • Burns
  • High cholesterol levels
  • Arthritis
  • Allergies due to inflammation
