The recommended daily intake of Omega-3 depends on your body weight.
For Zinzino BalanceOil, the suggested use is 0.15 ml per kilogram of body weight per day. For example:

  • If you weigh 50 kg, your daily dose is 7.5 ml
  • If you weigh 80 kg, your daily dose is 12 ml

This provides you with a beneficial amount of Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) to help maintain a healthy Omega-6:3 ratio and support your overall well-being.

If you have specific health conditions or dietary needs, it's always a good idea to consult your doctor for personalized advice.

The recommended intake from health authorities are:

  • EFSA (European Food Safety Authority): 250 mg EPA+DHA/day
  • American Heart Association: Two serving of fatty fish per week
  • ISSFAL (International Society for the Study of Fatty Acids and Lipids): Minimum 500 mg EPA+DHA/day
  • WHO (World Health Organization): 200-500 mg EPA+DHA/day.

The recommended daily intake of Omega-3 (specifically EPA and DHA) varies depending on the health benefit:

  • General health (heart, brain, vision): Many health authorities, including the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), recommend at least 250 mg of EPA and DHA combined per day for adults.
  • Blood triglyceride levels: A daily intake of 2 g of EPA and DHA is recommended for maintaining normal blood triglyceride levels. Do not exceed 5 g per day from supplements.
  • Blood pressure: A daily intake of 3 g of EPA and DHA is recommended for maintaining normal blood pressure. Again, do not exceed 5 g per day from supplements.
  • Pregnant and lactating women: An additional 200 mg of DHA per day, on top of the general adult recommendation, is advised for normal brain and eye development of the fetus and breastfed infants.

Looking at the safety levels (i.e. safe limits, not recommended daily intake) EFSA confirms:
- EPA+DHA: up to 5 g/day is not raising safety concerns in adults.
- EPA alone: up to 1.8 g/day is not raising safety concerns in adults.
- DHA alone: up to 1 g/day is not raising safety concerns in adults.

The EPA+DHA levels in BalanceOil+ (1 280 mg EPA and 680 mg DHA) are well within the levels for health benefits and safety stated by EFSA.
