Study Shows Benefits of Higher EPA/DHA Intake

A new meta-analysis published in the British Journal of Nutrition (BJN) demonstrates that 250 mg of EPA and DHA per day is merely a minimum requirement for reducing the risk of some coronary heart diseases, and that further benefits are derived from higher doses. The meta-analysis revealed that by increasing intakes of EPA and DHA over 250 mg, the risk of sudden cardiac death in a healthy population was reduced a further 35% and the risk of non-fatal coronary events a further 16%. The Global Organization for EPA and DHA Omega-3 (GOED), Salt Lake City, UT, and a group of GOED members sponsored the study, which resulted from the group’s work to establish a heart health claim in the European Union (EU). GOED hopes the implications of this paper will be far-reaching as more health claims and intake recommendations are established around the world.
