The ideal intake of EPA and DHA is higher than most people think: 3,000–3,600 milligrams per day of EPA + DHA (total)—this is the dose of EPA and DHA, not fish oil. Ideally, divide it into at least two doses, such as 1,500–1,800 milligrams in the morning and another 1,500–1,800 milligrams in the evening or with dinner.
