The Facts About Recommended Dose of Fish Oil

The problem that confronts fish oil consumers today is the plethora of information regarding the product. With dizzying information on the medical benefits of the product, first time buyers will be confused on the many kinds of fish oil products that are available today in our market shelves.   

What is more confusing is that recommended dose of fish oil varies from person to person, and will also vary from doctors to doctors.  Thus, to be drowned in the deluge of information regarding one fish oil product is becoming a necessary headache for consumers.  

Below are basic things to remember about fish oil, the promises it holds for your health, and a bit of product profile that you can check out for when you decide to buy one.  

EPA and DHA. Fish oil is one of the many popular sources of fatty acids called EPA (for eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (for docosahexaenoic acid). EPA helps bolster the heart's protection and keeps the cell membranes in robust health. DHA is responsible for the normal development of brain, visual organs and the reproductive system.  

In fish oil products, the fatty acid contents are acquired through the simple addition of the EPA and DHA amounts. For example, 1000 milligrams of fish oil may contain 180 milligrams of EPA and 120 milligrams of DHA (with the ratio of EPA to DHA being 1.5:1). Without the two major fatty acids, the fish oil products are considered worthless.  

Standard fish oil are extracts from fishes (those found in New Zealand are the best choices) and as such, their EPA and DHA contents are less.  

Concentrated fish oil products, those that are made from synthesized ethyl ester, will contain higher EPA and DHA amounts (up to 490 EPA and 350 DHA). 

Recommended dose of fish oil. As what has been implied earlier, a healthy adult will have different fish oil needs from that of a patient suffering from serious health problem.  

Researchers all over the world and medical publications (including American Heart Association, European Neuropsychopharmacology, and Journal of Clinical Epidemiology) have ascertained different fish oil requirements.  

Recommended dose of fish oil for people with cardiovascular diseases (heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure) is 1000 milligrams three times a day.

For people wanting to improve the health of their skin and for normal, healthy adult can take 650 -1000 milligrams once each day.  

Serious diseases like cancer, lupus, eczema, and Psoriasis will have higher dosages to the tune of 2000 milligrams three times a day.
