EPA and DHA do different things, so you need them both.

If your goal is reducing cellular inflammation, then you probably need more EPA than DHA. How much more? The most effective way to find out how much fish oil you need is to test your blood. Our Cellular Inflammation Test Kit allows you to test your personal levels at home. You will receive a detailed report with your AA and EPA levels, as well as your Cellular Inflammation Score, and personalized wellness recommendations. Then, you will never need to guess how much fish oil you should take.

Already know how much fish oil to take? Dr. Sears’ OmegaRx Fish Oil is the best way to get high levels of both EPA and DHA.
