What is the recommended dosage for Omega-3?

General: 250-500 mg EPA+DHA/day; Anti Inflammatory: 2,000-4,000 mg/day; Weight Management: 1,000-3,000 mg EPA+DHA/day

What are the side effects of Omega-3?

Potential side effects include: Fishy aftertaste, GI discomfort, Increased bleeding time (at high doses), Nausea.

What are omega-3 fatty acids and how may they relate to weight management?

Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) are essential fats found in fatty fish and fish oil. Some clinical studies suggest omega-3 supplementation may reduce inflammation, improve insulin sensitivity, and modestly support body composition changes when combined with exercise. Effects on body weight alone are generally small.

What dosage of omega-3 has been studied for weight management?

Clinical trials have used 1–4 grams of combined EPA and DHA per day for weight-related outcomes. Most studies lasted 8–24 weeks. The American Heart Association recommends 2 servings of fatty fish per week for general health, equivalent to approximately 500 mg of EPA+DHA per day.

What are the potential side effects of omega-3 supplements?

Common side effects include fishy aftertaste, burping, and digestive discomfort. High doses (above 3 grams daily) may increase bleeding risk and should be used cautiously with anticoagulant medications. Omega-3 supplements may contain contaminants such as mercury; choosing purified, third-party tested products is recommended.

About

Essential fatty acids (EPA and DHA) that modulate adipose tissue inflammation and metabolic function. Systematic reviews of 44 RCTs demonstrate omega-3 supplementation may support healthy triglyceride levels and waist circumference, especially when combined with exercise.

How It Works

EPA and DHA modulate adipose tissue inflammation by replacing arachidonic acid in cell membranes, shifting eicosanoid production from pro-inflammatory (PGE2, LTB4) to anti-inflammatory mediators (resolvins, protectins). Activate PPAR-gamma in adipose tissue, improving insulin sensitivity. Enhance fat oxidation through AMPK activation and reduce lipogenesis via SREBP-1c suppression.
