For Omega-3 to exhibit its significant anti-inflammatory effects and cardiovascular properties, experts generally recommend that the total EPA and DHA intake per capsule should be more than 700 mg. This means that if the EPA is 500 mg and the DHA is 200 mg, the total becomes 700 mg, and this figure represents a more reliable and effective dosage. Many cheap supplements available in the market are exactly weak in this area, namely the amount of actual active ingredients, and merely mislead the buyer by listing a large number for total Omega-3. Therefore, accurately reading the nutrition label on the back of the product is the most crucial step in purchasing a quality supplement.
