Fish oil delivers omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) that your body can't produce on its own. They support five of your body's most essential systems: heart, brain, eyes, joints, and immune health. The only way to get them is through food or a daily supplement.*

EPA and DHA are the two omega-3s found in fish oil, and they each do something specific. EPA supports your heart, joints, and immune system. DHA is the building block your brain and eyes rely on. It makes up over 90% of the omega-3s in your brain, keeping your mind sharp and your vision healthy. You need both EPA and DHA.*

It depends on your diet, lifestyle, and health goals. A good starting point for healthy adults is 250–1,000 mg of combined EPA and DHA per day. But the right dose for you depends on more than that.

The form your fish oil comes in affects how much your body actually absorbs. Triglyceride (rTG) form is the natural form found in whole fish, which your body can absorb more effectively. Ethyl ester (EE) is a processed form of fish oil. OmegaGenics® pure triglyceride form omega-3 fish oils are absorbed up to 50% more effectively.†

For general health, 250–500 mg of combined EPA and DHA is the daily minimum. For brain health specifically, research suggests 1–3 g per day may be more effective. The ratio of EPA to DHA matters too. Studies show that formulas where EPA is equal to or higher than DHA are most effective at supporting the body's natural inflammatory response, which plays a role in cognitive health.*

Role of the EPA:DHA dosing ratio in omega-3 supplements. PubMed, 2025.

Research suggests EPA and DHA play an important role in supporting joint comfort and flexibility. By supporting the body's natural inflammatory response, a high-quality fish oil can help promote ease of movement and overall joint health.*

If you're managing specific joint concerns or a diagnosed condition, we recommend speaking with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement.
