DHA or EPA
April 15, 2008 05:38PM
I'm a little confused about the Omega supplements and what they should be high in - EPA or DHA. Miraxion is high in EPA but hddrugworks.org recommends 2g of DHA. They also recommend higher DHS vs. EPA in the supplements. I found a DHS supplement by Carlson Labs which is 500mg DHA and only 100mg of EPA per caplet.
Thanks

The data just isn't clear. The Amarin data with purified ethyl-EPA suggests that there is a positive effect after six months of use. On the other hand, there is good data suggesting that DHA is important for health. I think you should read up on this a little more and use your best judgment.
