There is a minimum of 272 mg of both DHA and EPA per teaspoon of Ultimate. 

DHA- docosahexaenic acid and EPA- eicosapentaenoic acid

DHA suspiciously at best enhances brain function, and EPA supposedly lowers cholesterol, which is not prudent discussion in Canine. The research just isn’t there and doesn’t justify the hype of the past 5 years.

What we do know is in balance omega 3,6,9 are found in every cell and are important to every system in all mammals.  Diets containing too much omega 6 and 9 are prevalent in humans. Extra omega 3 often is easily noticed by an improvement in skin and hair. In humans when we look better, we feel better. 

Anecdotally we continually get confusing reports of miracle changes with omega 3 additions. Here in a business that sell omega 3 every day, we know all to well that a number simply see no difference with the addition of omega fatty acids. The variances between diets, species, breeds, families, and individuals each make a sound theory impossible. 

There have never been reported any negative effects of too much omega 3 causing harm.
