Aliquot #51: What's the correct omega-3 dosage for maximum benefits?

Dr. Bill Harris

Early studies of omega-3 fatty acid intake demonstrated dramatic biological effects. Since then, the body of research enumerating the profound anti-inflammatory and generalized health-promoting qualities of omega-3s continues to grow; however, some studies fail to show any effects from omega-3 supplementation. In this Aliquot, Dr. Bill Harris shares his thoughts on inconsistencies in the literature and gives his recommendations for optimal dosage taking genes and diet into account.
