Clinical dose: 1000–3000 mg
Omega-3 and pregnancy
Omega-3 plays a important role in pregnancy. Doses vary by EPA/DHA content — always check combined EPA+DHA per serving, not total fish oil volume. EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are the two primary active omega-3 fatty acids.
Effective dosing
Most evidence supports 1000–3000 mg of omega-3 daily. Total omega-3 from fish oil or algae supplements. Products below this range may not deliver meaningful results.
Form and bioavailability
Avoid ethyl ester — lower absorption than triglyceride. Avoid flaxseed — ala omega-3 — only ~5-10% converts to epa/dha. Look for triglyceride form (rtg) for better absorption.
What the research says
The clinical evidence for omega-3 in pregnancy is strong. Thousands of trials; meta-analyses confirm triglyceride reduction of 15-30% and modest cardiovascular benefits Learn more
