Omega-3 and stress & mood
Omega-3 plays a important role in stress & mood. 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.
How much omega-3 do you need
Research points to 1000–3000 mg as the effective range for omega-3. Total omega-3 from fish oil or algae supplements. Lower doses may provide some benefit, but most studies showing clear results used this range.
Which form absorbs best
Avoid ethyl ester — lower absorption than triglyceride. Avoid flaxseed — ala omega-3 — only ~5-10% converts to epa/dha. The most bioavailable options are triglyceride form (rtg).
What the research says
