Do you take Omega 3, and if so what amount do you take daily?

i eat a special trail mix that has every omega 3 fortified nut imaginable. I am losing weight slowly so it must be helping. I don't know the amount i eat daily though. I eat it because my dietitian wants me to increase my omega 3 levels. Salmon has a lot of Omega 3 as well

830 MG, which is 58 percent of the RDI for omega 3 just for ONE serving, 1 ounce of Fresh and Easy Omega 3 trail mix.

I aim for 1.5 to 2g of DHA/EPA per day in the form of liquid fish oil, if I'm not eating actual salmon.

There are three omega-3s relevant to humans: ALA, DHA, and EPA. ALA is the omega 3 often found in plant sources. It also has not been shown to have the same health benefits as DHA and EPA. The body can convert ALA to DHA and EPA, but not very well - there is only about a 4 to 6 percent conversion rate.

Focus on the EPA/DHA content in your omega 3 sources/supplements.
