The evidence in words
How much to take
Dose to ~250–1,000 mg combined EPA+DHA daily depending on goal.
Timing & separation
There are no strict timing conflicts on record for Algae Omega-3; consistency matters more than the exact hour for most goals.
Why the dose is what it is
It raises the omega-3 index the same way fish oil does, bypassing the poor conversion of plant ALA (from flax/chia) into EPA/DHA.
Bottom line
The right omega-3 for plant-based eaters — flax and chia won't convert enough. Dose to EPA+DHA, expect to pay more than fish oil.
How it is used
As the entry records it, from the studies it summarises. Not a recommendation for you — doses that suit a trial population may not suit you.
