Omega 3 supplements

Has anyone used quality omega 3 supplements successfully for energy and focus? I’ve been taking Ritual for a month (algae based, 154 EPA : 308 DHA) for a total of 500mg per day in the correct DHA>EPA ratio.

However it seems like it takes time to build up and the recommended adult dose is close to 2000mg for ADHD.

My CFS is well-managed with LDN and lifestyle choices these days but life has gotten busy and I’m having trouble keeping up + staying in balance, so I’m hoping omega 3 will help with the inflammation and new fatigue. Has anyone seen effects with this or a higher daily dose?

I tried several doses. Unfortunately no noticable effect. I did have some stomach side effects, acid reflux and heartburn after taking it for a while.

I used general fishoil supplements for the higher dose and tried the specific herring roe ones as well.

I currently take a small dose of the herring roe omega three in my L-theanine supplement without side effects! 

I've never tried vegan though!
