How much omega acids I should be consuming daily

Sources:

There isn’t one universal daily target: the amounts discussed depend on the goal, and are specified mainly as EPA or DHA.

  • Attention and focus, especially ADHD: Aim for about 300 mg of DHA daily; the cited attention findings emphasize getting above this threshold.
  • General brain health and cognitive enhancement: A suggested range is 1–3 g of EPA daily.
  • Reducing headache frequency and intensity: The stated threshold is at least 1 g of EPA daily.
  • Some people take 3 g or more of EPA per day.

These are goal-specific amounts discussed in the episodes, not a single general requirement for everyone.
