Question:
What is the upper limit of DHA intake?

Answer:
Various health agencies from different countries have recommended intakes of DHA/EPA (combined) for optimal health during adulthood ranging from 300-650 mg per day. Children aged 4-8 years should consume at least 900 mg of ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) per day and may consume up to 10% of that (90 mg / day) as DHA + EPA. The Food and Drug Administration in the US have indicated that up to 3000 mg of DHA/EPA per day from all sources (diet + supplements) is generally considered safe for most adults.
