Total Omega-3
Expert Tip
AHA recommends 250–500 mg combined EPA+DHA daily. For heart disease risk reduction, 1000+ mg EPA+DHA. ALA converts to EPA/DHA at only 5–10%.
Calculation Methodology & Details
Formula
EPA and DHA are the biologically active forms. ALA (from flaxseed, walnuts) requires conversion and is less efficient.
