EPA and DHA are essential Omega-3 fatty acids that support numerous key functions in the body. DHA helps maintain normal brain function and vision*, while EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function**.

Vitamin D supports normal muscle function and a healthy immune system. It also helps with calcium absorption and utilization and contributes to maintaining healthy bones and teeth.

* Requires a daily intake of 250 mg DHA.
** Requires a daily intake of 250 mg EPA + DHA.

Recommended Omega-3 intake: According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), adults should consume at least 250-500 mg of EPA and DHA daily for general health. Higher intakes—1,000 mg or more per day—may be beneficial for individuals with cardiovascular conditions. Pregnant and breastfeeding women are advised to get at least 200 mg of DHA daily to support fetal and infant development.

Recommended Vitamin D intake: The Norwegian Directorate of Health recommends a daily intake of 10 µg (400 IU) for children and adults up to age 75. For people over 75 or those at risk of Vitamin D deficiency, 20 µg (800 IU) per day is advised. Some researchers suggest higher doses may be beneficial, especially in winter months, but intakes above 100 µg (4,000 IU) per day may increase the risk of side effects like elevated calcium levels in the blood.

If you're not getting enough Omega-3 from oily fish or Vitamin D from sunlight and diet, a supplement can be a smart and effective choice.
