The EFSA recommends that adults should get around 20-35% of their daily calorie intake from fats. (1) Vegetable and animal fats consist of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, including monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. In modern nutrition, the appropriate ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids has shifted in favor of omega-6 fatty acids. To compensate for this, the consumption of omega-3 fatty acids is recommended. (1)
EPA and DHA are both essential fatty acids (the body needs them but cannot produce them itself, so they must be obtained from external sources). EPA and DHA contribute to the normal functioning of the heart. This positive effect can be achieved with a daily intake of 250 mg EPA and DHA*.
