How many capsules of Oleofarm's Omega 3-Vitum forte should you take a day to get enough EPA and DHA for the heart, brain and eyesight? — Omega 3-Vitum FORTE 1100 mg, 60 capsules - OLEOFARM

One capsule of Omega 3-Vitum forte contains 1100 mg of fish oil with 65% omega-3, including 363 mg of EPA and 242 mg of DHA. The label notes that EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function, and DHA to normal brain function and eyesight, but the pack does not state specific threshold amounts in milligrams for these effects.

• Taking 1 capsule a day gives you 363 mg of EPA and 242 mg of DHA (605 mg in total).
• Taking 2 capsules a day gives 726 mg of EPA and 484 mg of DHA — noticeably more than with one capsule.

So the second capsule noticeably increases the daily intake of EPA and DHA compared with one. Two capsules are convenient if you want a higher concentration of omega-3 without taking a large number of capsules. The supplement does not replace a balanced diet and is not intended to diagnose, treat or prevent disease. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have chronic conditions, or take medication, consult a specialist before starting.
