BioLean® System

There is no "fixed" recommended daily dose of omega-3 on which all the experts agree, but the generally accepted dose recommended on the basis of studies conducted over many years is:

  • Used as a preventive dietary supplement:
    600 - 800 mg omega-3 fatty acids

  • Used therapeutically for cardiovascular disorders:
    1000 - 2000 mg omega-3 fatty acids

  • Used therapeutically for joint disorders:
    4000 - 5000 mg omega-3 fatty acids

If you mostly eat lean fish such as cod and plaice you will have to eat much greater amounts in order to get enough omega-3. Lean fish contains only approximately 0.2 grams of omega-3 per 100 grams of fish (corresponding to a small fillet of plaice). Fatty fish such as salmon, herring and mackerel contain up to 15 times more omega-3.

The greater the degree of processing, the less omega-3 is left in the fish. Marinated herring only contains approximately 1.5 grams per 100 grams of fish

Test yourself - are you getting enough omega-3?
How much fish have you eaten during the last two weeks? One portion of fish is equivalent to a medium-sized portion of hot food or the sandwich filling on two open sandwiches (100 grams of fish).



During the last two weeks I have eaten:
approx. portions of lean fish such as cod, fish fingers, fish balls, etc.
approx. portions of semi-fatty fish, usually in the form of sandwich filling, such as tuna, herring, cod row, and fish cakes.
approx. portions of fatty fish such as herring, salmon, mackerel (also in tomato sauce).
You have taken approx. grams of omega-3 during the last two weeks. You need approximately 15 grams to maintain your body's vitality.
