OMEGA-3

Experts say that 2,500 and 3,000 mg of Omega-3 per day is enough to meet the body's needs. Omega-3 is not a vitamin pill, it is fish oil. Therefore, it is produced purely on tablets. The omega-3 pill should be consumed on a full stomach, in the morning, or the evening. Two important points here are that omega-3 drugs on the market can have different amounts of DHA and EPA content. DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) are abbreviated names for omega-3 fatty acids. The amount of EPA in the omega-3 pill is at least 900 mg, which is important to reduce the risk of heart and vascular diseases. When buying, it is necessary to carefully look at the total dose and the EPA ratio in its content.”

Recommended For all Age Groups

Omega-3 is recommended for teens, children, and all age groups. Since fish consumption is not sufficient in our country, there is no harm in using it unless there is a special side effect.
