Depression, what dosage of omega-3?
Dear Giovanni,
In cases of depression and anxiety, omega-3 fatty acids can be useful adjuncts. For them to be effective, the recommended daily dosage is about 1 gram of EPA and DHA, the two omega-3 fatty acids known for their beneficial effects on our body.
I suggest you read this overview on the observed correlations between omega-3, depression, and anxiety.
Depression: dosage advice for omega-3
- For your depression, you may potentially find support in Omegor Vitality 1000.
I recommend this product because 2 capsules of Omegor Vitality 1000 daily provide the recommended daily intake of 1 gram of omega-3 EPA and DHA.
- You can take the capsules as you prefer and according to your needs.
You can choose to take them all at once or split into two doses, either just before or close to a main meal – breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
- The recommended supplementation period is at least 2-3 months.
This is because the effects of omega-3 supplementation become visible progressively over time. I recommend informing your doctor of your intention to start this supplementation. I remain available for further information. Best regards, Dr. Rosaria Ramondino, Pharmacist and Pharmaceutical Chemist
