Although omega-3s have many virtues for the human body, they are still insufficiently consumed today, since our diet provides us with only 30% of the DRI (Dietary Reference Intakes). Supplementation is thus essential. Some important criteria are to consider when choosing them as they can make a big difference in benefits.<\/p>\n

The benefits of EPA and DHA<\/b><\/h2>\n

When blood platelets stick together, they can form arterial plugs (thromboses) that prevent blood from flowing. This blood clot can detach and block a small vessel in the brain, resulting in a transient ischemic stroke. Omega 3 promotes the production of nitric oxide which protects blood vessels.<\/p>\n

Moreover, EPA and DHA are anti-atherogenic since they fight against the formation of fatty acids in the arteries..<\/p>\n

Indeed, EPA inhibits the synthesis of thromboxane \u2013 a hormone promoting platelet adherence and arterial construction \u2013 and on the other hand, stimulates the production of prostacyclins that decrease platelet aggregation.<\/p>\n

Why are EPA and DHA so efficient for our health? <\/b><\/h3>\n

What are our optimum needs in DHA and EPA?<\/b><\/h3>\n

After evaluating the French population\u2019s daily intake of omega-3, the ANSES recommended:
\n\u201cThe implementation of a policy aimed at increasing the level of omega-3 intake\u201d (9).
\nThe minimum physiological requirement for DHA and EPA was estimated by the ANSES to be 500 mg\/day for an adult.
\nSupplementation of about 100 mg minimum is also essential for good memory and optimal brain function.<\/p>\n
