Food sources of omega 3


In order to obtain all the beneficial effects of omega 3, it is important to have, together with a nutritional supplement, food that is rich in omega 3, reducing the amount taken of omega 6.
For that you need:
  • To have rapeseed oil, rich in omega 3: 2 soup-spoons a day cover 90% of the recommended daily dosage (RDD).
  • Use olive oil which is neutral and does not disturb the balance between omega 3 and omega 6.
  • Avoid the following oils: sunflower, borage, onager, evening primrose, blackcurrant and carthame, which are rich in omega 6.
  • Eat foods which are naturally rich in omega 3 on a regular basis: 100 grammes of Norwegian salmon covers 90% of the daily recommended dosage (RDD); 100 grammes of herrings or mackerel cover 100%, and 100 g of sardines cover 70%.
