The amount of Omega-fish oil you should take depends on a few factors, including your age, health, and diet. The recommended daily amount for adults is three grams.
It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before taking fish oil supplements because the dosage and type of fish oil supplement can vary depending on your individual health needs.
Here is a general guideline to how much fish oil you should take based on your age and sex:
If you are over the age of 18 years old, you should consume a total of 1-5 grams (300mg) per day of omega-3 fatty acids from both EPA and DHA.
For women, this translates to 1-2 grams (30mg) daily of EPA and DHA.
For men, the recommended intake is 3-5 grams (60mg) per day from EPA and DHA.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please consult with a healthcare professional before taking fish oil supplements. There is not enough information available on the effects of fish oil on pregnant women or breastfeeding mothers to make any general recommendations.
