This has more EPA content than DHA. 425/100 mg per soft gel. Taking 1 soft gel per day is enough to get the effects. Its best to be taken with lunch or some fatty food for improving its absorption. Combining it with other anti-inflammatory supplements like curcumin, vitamin D etc can amplify it's anti-inflammatory effects. Also taking vitamin B1 (thiamine) 100 mg on empty stomach can increase its effectiveness especially for the cognitive flexibility part. If compare the effects of EPA with DHA, then EPA is bit stimulatory while DHA is bit inhibitory. Thus, EPA is more useful in improving mood, motivation, energy etc. Because of these effects it can be used for nootropic and workout purposes. Also, EPA is more useful in reducing inflammation when compared with DHA. EPA can increase dopamine, adrenaline etc thus it can increase alertness, working memory etc thus more activity in the prefrontal region in the brain. Surprisingly it doesn't make it hard to fall asleep at night like stimulants. Also It's very good for insomnia as it helps to fall asleep quickly at night and also sleep time during night reduced without giving tiredness during daytime which is a good indication that it improves thyroid function. It's very good for reducing depression, anxiety, apathy, avolition, anhedonia etc. Thus, very useful in conditions like ADHD, depression, OCD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia etc especially for depression and bipolar disorder. If talk about the side effects, it can give anger bursts sometimes due to the increased energy and mood it provides. Also, night sleep can sometime become fragmented especially during wake-up period because of the increased alertness it provides. When stop taking it, it can sometimes give low mood, depression like state for some days. To reduce these possible side effects do not take more than 1 soft gel capsule per day and do not combine it with dopamine boosting supplements or medications like l dopa, amphetamine, mucuna pruriens, l tyrosine etc. Also take vitamin B1 (thiamine) on empty stomach especially for reducing anger bursts side effect It can sometime give. It can reduce triglyceride cholesterol levels significantly. It can reduce TSH and thyroid antibodies thus very good for thyroid function. It comes in triglyceride form thus only need to take 1 soft gel per day to get all the benefits. Altogether a very useful and magical health supplement though cost is bit high. 5-star product!
