Maximum amount of omega 3 recommended for a supplement by FDA guidelines Elite omega 3 is pure Norwegian fish oil, sourced from cold-water fish: anchovy, sardine and mackerel. Omega 3 supplementation is one of the few food-based health claims approved by the FDA for the prevention of coronary heart disease. Fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, herring, anchovies, sardines and albacore tuna are high in two kinds of omega-3 fatty acids: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). EPA and DHA have been shown to support the reduction of coronary heart disease. The American heart association recommends that Americans get the bulk of their DHA and EPA from fatty fish sources and supplements. The american heart association also says this about omega 3 fatty acids, "supplements also could help people with high triglycerides." More is not necessarily better! elite omega 3 has been carefully formulated to provide the optimal balance between epa and dha, without exceeding the federal recommended limits. Elite omega 3 exceeds the amounts of epa and dha found in many "generic" formulas by providing 800 mg epa and 400 mg dha. Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of epa and dha omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. One serving of elite omega 3 provides 2 grams of epa and dha omega-3 fatty acids. It's suggested that omega-3 fatty acids help promote brain health and support reduction of inflammation in the body.
