Omega-3 Dosage Guide (2026): How Much EPA+DHA Do You Actually Need?

Most omega-3 supplements label total fish oil content — not EPA+DHA content. A “1,000mg fish oil” capsule may contain only 300mg of combined EPA+DHA. Dose to EPA+DHA content, not to fish oil weight.

Dose by Goal

rTG vs Ethyl Ester: Why Form Matters

Triglyceride (TG) and re-esterified triglyceride (rTG) forms absorb 70% better than ethyl ester (EE) forms. Most cheap fish oils are ethyl ester. If you’re dosing at 1,000mg EPA+DHA in EE form, you’re likely absorbing ~650mg. In rTG form, absorption is close to 100%. Pay more for rTG — or compensate with higher EE doses.
