Omega-3 (EPA + DHA) Benefits, Dosage, and How to Choose a Quality Fish Oil — Featuring Happy Healing® Omega Three

Omega-3s in plain English: why people take them

Omega-3 fatty acids are healthy fats your body uses every day—especially to support cell membranes and normal signaling throughout the body. The two omega-3s most people mean when they say “fish oil” are EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), which are found in fatty fish and fish oil supplements. 

Many people try to get omega-3s from food first (think salmon, sardines, and anchovies), but a supplement can be a convenient option if you don’t eat fish regularly. The American Heart Association notes that eating fish—especially fatty fish—1–2 times per week is linked with heart benefits for many people. 

What omega-3s may support (without the hype)

Let’s keep this grounded: omega-3s are widely studied, but the “headline claims” online often go way beyond what the evidence can reliably support for the average healthy person.

Here’s what reputable sources consistently emphasize:

1) Heart health support (and triglycerides—under medical guidance)

Omega-3s are commonly used to support cardiovascular wellness. For people with high triglycerides, high-dose omega-3s (often 2–4 grams/day of EPA+DHA) may be used under clinician supervision. The AHA has published science advisories on omega-3s for triglyceride management. 

For everyday wellness, many people choose lower daily amounts as part of a routine—especially if diet is low in fatty fish. 

2) Brain and eye support

DHA is a major structural fat in the brain and retina, which is one reason omega-3s are frequently discussed in “brain + eye” wellness conversations. 

3) Inflammation balance (a normal body process)

Omega-3s are also studied for their role in the body’s normal inflammatory response and resolution pathways. This is often described as “inflammation support,” but it’s not the same thing as treating an inflammatory disease. 

A quick reality check on health claims

When you’re shopping for supplements, it helps to know the rules behind the language:

  • FTC: Advertising claims must be truthful, not misleading, and backed by appropriate scientific evidence—especially for health-related claims.
  • FDA (dietary supplements): Supplements can use structure/function language (like “supports heart health”), but they cannot claim to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent diseases.

You may also see “qualified health claims” for EPA/DHA and heart-related outcomes. These come with specific wording and conditions because the evidence is considered “supportive but not conclusive.” (If you use qualified-claim language, it needs to be quoted accurately and used correctly.) 

How to choose a quality omega-3 supplement

If you’ve ever stared at a label and thought, “Wait… what does any of this mean?”—you’re not alone. Here are the most practical things to look for:

1) Look for EPA + DHA amounts (not just “fish oil”)

A bottle might say “1100 mg fish oil,” but the most useful numbers are the EPA and DHA listed inside that fish oil.

2) Freshness matters

Fish oil can oxidize over time. Store it properly (cool, dark place) and pay attention to smell/taste—strong “fishy” odor may indicate oxidation.

3) Know who should talk to a clinician first

Omega-3 supplements aren’t for everyone. If you’re pregnant, nursing, have a medical condition, are planning surgery, or take medications (especially anything that affects bleeding), it’s smart to check with your healthcare professional first. Government health sources also flag that high doses can have risks for some people.
