But getting enough Omega-3s through your diet is nearly impossible.
Even if you eat fish regularly, it’s tough to reach the levels of EPA and DHA shown to improve recovery. And while plant-based sources offer ALA, your body converts less than 10% into the forms it actually needs.
Wondering how much Omega-3 you should take daily? For many people, a daily dose of 1600mg of Omega-3 with DHA and EPA in a 1:1 ratio is a solid starting point.
Anyone engaging in intense physical activity or dealing with inflammation or joint discomfort may benefit from a higher dosage of 2,000mg per day.
