What is Fish Oil?

Fish oil is a dietary supplement derived from the tissues of oily fish. It contains omega-3 fatty acids, including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which are known for their health benefits. These benefits include reducing inflammation, lowering blood pressure, improving heart health, and supporting mental health. Fish oil is often consumed in the form of capsules for convenience and dosage control.

Example

Let's say the body weight (BW) is 70 kg, the recommended dosage (R) is 30 mg/kg, and the concentration (C) is 200 mg/ml. Using the formula:

\[ DD = \frac{70 \times 30}{200} = 10.5 \text{ mg} \]

So, the daily dosage (DD) is 10.5 mg.
