What is the most potent Omega 3 that we have found?
In clinic, I routinely recommend 1000-2000mg of Omega 3 (EPA + DHA) for dry eye management. See the Blog about Confusing Omega 3 labels for full information.
Here is a convenient table that contrasts various mEYEspa Omega 3 options to get to our minimum therapeutic recommendation of 1000mg/day (EPA + DHA rTG form)
| Min. daily dose to achieve 1000mg | ~ Daily cost* with no bulk discount from mEYEspa | Actual daily EPA + DHA mg delivered in dose | Brand/Link (#softgels or bottle size) |
| 2 Softgels | ~89 cents/day | 1824mg | i-VU PLUS (120) ** |
| 2 Softgels | ~$1.21/day | 1493mg | PRN De3 (270) |
| 3 Softgels | ~$1.27/day | 1125mg | NutraSea Dry Eye (120) |
| 1 teaspoon (5ml) | ~$1.37/day | 2240mg | PRN Oe Liquid (200ml) |

** Best Value Award (EPA+DHA mg / $) goes to...
i-VU Omega3 PLUS

Most important TIP... Take with food! Without food, even the best Omega 3 will not absorb properly and not deliver the desired result!
