Omega 3 fatty acids (EPA & DHA)
I am 16 year old male, Student of a competitive exam, and I m physically active, I play sports and go to gym regularly. My diet lacks seafood due to unavailability of it because I don't stay in coastal region and vegetarian sources contain only ALA type of omega-3. So, is consumption of omega 3 fish oil capsules safe for adolescents? Is dosage of 1250 mg fish oil which contains 450 mg EPA and 300 mg DHA safe to consume daily to fullfill requirements? Yes or no? Please advice
