Why is Ritual’s Omega-3 formulated with 500 mg of Omega-3 [fatty acids], including DHA & EPA?
Updated over a week ago

Omega-3 DHA & EPA was inspired by a science-backed 2:1 DHA to EPA ratio found in a healthy Mediterranean diet and for brain and heart health support.*

American adults typically consume very little omega-3 EPA and DHA from their diet alone. National intake data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) indicates that, on average, adults aged 19 and over consume about 80 mg of Omega-3 DHA & EPA per day, which includes 60 mg of DHA and 20 mg of EPA. While there is no daily value for long-chain omega-3s, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)’s healthy Mediterranean eating pattern recommends 400 mg of DHA and EPA per day based on a 2,000-calorie diet while the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend the equivalent amount of 250 mg of DHA and EPA per day based on a 2,000 calorie diet. Ritual Omega-3 DHA & EPA contains 462 mg DHA and EPA per serving, a science-backed DHA & EPA dose, in a 2:1 ratio found in a healthy Mediterranean diet.*
