How much omega-3 is needed to achieve an Omega-3 Index level of 8.0% or higher?
- "Here are some results from the Omega-3 Index testing of 700+ participants. Please take a look at the dose-response curve. You can note that if the target index level is 8%, fully 90% of the population could achieve that level with 2400 mg/day. This is a higher intake than most supplement manufacturers put as a recommended dose. That is, of course, why we do the dose-response curves. The curve is also a straight line in this region."
