Do you know what the best sources of EPA and DHA omega-3 are? Do you know how much of each kind you should be taking daily? These questions and more are answered in this article.

How Much of Each Type of Omega-3 Should You Be Consuming Daily?

Ideally, you want to consume at least 650 mgs of DHA/EPA (combined) on a daily basis. This amount is estimated to be ideal for keeping brain function, heart health, and inflammation in check.

Not surprisingly, the average person only consumes about 120-130 mgs of DHA and EPA daily. For those of you who hate doing math, that's only one-fifth of the recommended amount.

What Are the Best Sources of EPA and DHA Omega-3?

The best sources of EPA and DHA omega-3 are the various cold, deep water fish in the ocean. The most well-known species are tuna, salmon, mackerel, sardines, hoki, and anchovies.

However, eating a lot of fish isn't necessarily the safest thing to do. Why? Because most ocean life contains traces of harmful contaminants like mercury, arsenic, cadmium, PCBs, lead, and other heavy metals. So relying on eating these fish species as sources of EPA and DHA may not be the smartest thing to do...

Plus, if you wanted to get all the recommended DHA and EPA daily from fish, you'd have to eat multiple servings a day to get it.

What Kind of EPA and DHA Fish Oil is Best to Get?

As a rule of thumb, don't get a supplement that contains less than 250 mgs of DHA and 100 mgs of EPA. The human body utilizes more DHA and EPA, so always aim for more.

To assure your safety, never get an omega-3 supplement that hasn't been purified or molecularly distilled. These two processes together strip out all of the traceable amounts of contaminants so you don't have to ingest them just to get enough daily DHA and EPA.

Besides that, there are some other things you should do to assure the freshness and quality of the supplement you take.
