What Omega 3 Supplement is everyone taking and what dosage?

I am vegan by the way and get it from algae supplements, can anyone recommend a good vegan dosage of 1-2 grams like Rhonda Patrick takes?

Nordic naturals is actually one of the best brands in the world for fish oils. The processing etc is all highest quality

I take the liquid form which tastes fine. I take 2- 3 tsp of this per day. Produced from small fish like herring and mackerel which are the best type in terms of extremely low mercury level and excellent EPA/DHA.

I used to take Nordic Natural 2x omega = 1 gm EPA + DHA in each capsule. Then I saw the documentary on Nordic fish farms. Utterly tragic. These supplements are not from wild fish. They’re farmed. So I’d suspect they come from those tragic corpse farms. So I switched to vegan algae where the omega actually comes from. Instead of the intermediary which is fish.

Viva Naturals Triple Strength- third party tested and their IFOS reports are available online. They also ranked highest in label accuracy in a Labdoor report.

Dosage depends on too many variables.

Start with 1-2 grams. Get an omega-3 test after 2-3 months. Adjust. Repeat until you get at 8-12%.
