March 3 marks Global Omega-3 Day, an international initiative led by the Global Organization for EPA and DHA Omega-3s (GOED), to highlight the essential role of omega-3 fatty acids in human health.
At OLVEA Omega Solutions, we proudly support this day to raise awareness about the health benefits of EPA and DHA and the importance of meeting daily intake recommendations.
90% of People Worldwide Don’t Get Enough Omega-3s
Despite being among the most studied nutrients, 90% of people globally fail to get sufficient EPA and DHA, with even higher deficits reported in certain countries. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for maintaining overall wellness, supporting critical functions such as:
- Heart health
- Brain function
- Eye health
- Maternal and prenatal development
Recommended EPA & DHA Intake
Health authorities recommend the following daily intake levels:
- Adults: at least 500 mg of EPA+DHA per day
- Pregnant and lactating women: at least 700 mg per day, including 300 mg of DHA
These targets can be reached by including fatty fish, foods fortified with EPA/DHA, or high-quality omega-3 supplements in the diet.
