Omega 3 EPA and DHA Reduce the Risk of Cardiac Death

• Scientists recommend the establishment of a Dietary Reference Intake for Omega 3 EPA and DHA to reduce the risk of heart disease. 

 
Scientists reviewed more than 15 studies and found modest intake of omega 3 eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) reduced the risk of coronary heart disease. They recommend a Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) for EPA and DHA between 250 and 400mg/day.

The scientists also found that omega 3 EPA and DHA had promising effects on dementia and cancer.
