Omega-3 for the heart and brain: EPA and DHA supplements
EPA and DHA are the omega-3s in oily fish. The reference is 250 mg a day: we explain how much you get from what you eat, what the studies say and what an omega-3 supplement adds when you fall short.
First things first, before any supplement
What makes the biggest difference, and costs nothing.
250 mg a day
That is the EFSA adequate intake and the amount in the official claims on the heart, the brain and vision.
Oily fish every week
One portion of salmon or herring a week already covers that daily average; with cod you would need more than 12 portions.
Read the label
Add up the EPA and DHA per daily dose: 1,000 mg of fish oil usually means about 300 mg of omega-3.
With meals
In one trial, taking it fasted reduced the absorption of EPA and DHA by 39%.
Why it contains vitamin E
Vitamin E protects the oil from oxygen
Omega-3 is a delicate oil: oxygen oxidises it and gives it a rancid smell and taste. That is why every softgel contains vitamin E, which acts as an antioxidant for the oil itself.
The products
What each one provides, with its figures and the official claims.
EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart. DHA contributes to maintenance of normal brain function. DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision.

Frequently asked questions
What is omega-3 good for?
Do I need omega-3 if I eat fish?
If you eat oily fish once or twice a week, you probably already reach 250 mg a day. Work out your own case with our omega-3 calculator.
What is the difference between EPA and DHA?
Both are long-chain omega-3s from fish. For the heart, what counts is the two combined; for the brain and vision, the reference is 250 mg of DHA a day. We explain it in EPA and DHA.
How much omega-3 is safe?
EFSA considers that up to 5 g a day of EPA and DHA raises no safety concerns in adults; your 3 softgels provide 0.9 g. If you take anticoagulants, check with your doctor.
