Before I tell you about what Omega3 dosage you should be taking per day, let me explain about the types of Omega3. There are three main types of Omega3. ALA, DHA and EPA. ALA is the type you get in flaxseed, leafy greens and purslane. ALA needs to be converted by your body over to DHA, and this conversion is not always successful if you are elderly or in poor health. DHA is the type used by our brain to rebuild brain cells, and to keep us mentally fit. We need EPA as well, but studies have found that DHA is the most important one. Fortunately both of these Omega3s are found in the same types of food. Some products will only list the total amount of Omega3s and not put amount of each fatty acid. I would suggest that you only buy a product that is higher in DHA than EPA. Now what dosage should you take per day. The dosage varies between 1,000mg per day and 4,000mg per day. Young children need a greater amount of Omega3 fatty acids because their brain is still developing. While the elderly need more because their health is on the wane. They need a higher Omega3 dosage to improve their memory and their recall abilities. They also need to take a higher dosage for their cardiovascular health. The average thirty five year old in good health needs to take an Omega3 dosage of 2,000 mg per day, while some people with angina need to take a dosage of 10 grams per day. This has been proved in overseas studies to reduce the risk of further attacks by 41%. however do not just start on this high dosage without consulting your doctor or health professional. You need to ensure that the oil you are taking has been purified by a process called molecular distillation to get rid of unwanted contamination. The main heavy metals and toxins you need to eliminate are lead, mercury and PCBs etc. mercury is the really bad one. I hope that this article on the best or most appropriate Omega3 dosage has been of some use to you.
