Recommended Omega 3 Dosage For All In Family

fish oil recommended
The omega 3 1000mg tablets attached to your site for sale recommend maximum of 2g per day. However you recommend 3g per day. I want to give to all my family age 12, 16 and 2 adults.
If I buy this make, how many tabs should I give per day. Please clarify recommended starting dose and for how long and then recommended maintenance dose. Thank you

Answer:
Tricia: it is an important question. We have to understand that every manufacturer usually has a recommended dosage in their label for every product they make but it does not say it is the maximum dosage.
In this case, my recommended maintenance dosage for any healthy-ideal weight person is 900 mg of omega 3 fatty acids( EPA plus DHA) or 3.000mg of fish oil per day, based in the most common fish oil in the market ( 180 mg of EPA and 120 mg of DHA).
But it also depends on the purpose you want to achieve with the ingestion of omega 3. As a preventive health measure it is 900 mgs of Omega 3 fatty acids but if you are overweight and have high triglycerides you should start with at least 1.800 mgs of omega 3 fatty acids and check your blood in a month to adjust the dosage.
If you have attention deficit disorder or depression, you would need over 2.500 omega 3 fatty acids and a low omega 6 diet.
Now , the case with the Xtend-life DHA Esters is that their fatty acids composition, 260 mg of DHA and 60 mg of EPA per 1.000 mg of fish oil is high in DHA.
That is , more oriented for those uses where you need a high DHA cncentraion, for example where the mind is involved since all our nervous system has a high DHA content. If you suffer form stiff joints or cholesterol and triglycerides problems you would want higher EPA concentration. You follow me?
