Essential Supplements
* The best DHA and EPA omega 3 fatty acid supplement is krill oil and fish oil. DHA can also be derived from algae oil supplements. ALA, which can be derived from plant-based supplements, does not show to provide the same health benefits.
* A healthy dose of DHA and EPA from fish oil is 1 gram daily. With a doctor’s supervision, the dosage can be increased for people with certain medical conditions. High doses of omega 3, particularly EPA, may also increase the risk of bleeding, especially in people with bleeding conditions. Again, doctor supervision is required.
* Indigestion and gas are common side effects of fish oil; supplements with an enteric coating might alleviate these symptoms.
