What the evidence supports: raising omega-3 blood levels; outcome evidence largely comes from fish oil trials.
This scores how well-supported the claim above is — not how much benefit you personally would get. A high score on a narrow claim does not extend to everything the product is marketed for.
How long to take it
Ongoing, like fish oil, unless you eat oily fish regularly.
Who it's actually for
People who prefer small capsules and don't mind paying more per gram of EPA+DHA.
Safe upper limit
Unverified
Treat as equivalent to fish oil — about 3 g combined EPA+DHA per day from supplements
Same blood-thinning consideration as fish oil at high doses. Crustacean-derived, so avoid with shellfish allergy.
