As an appreciation of the cardioprotective properties of the long-chain, fish-oil-derived omega-3 fatty acids (eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids) has grown, so too have official dietary guidelines. Health organizations and government agencies are typically recommending intakes that either maintain the status quo (about 100-200 mg/day in most western countries) or are intended to actively reduce risk for cardiovascular disease. The latter are around usually 400-600 mg/day, an amount likely to stimulate commercial interests to fortify foods with omega-3 fatty acids. Fortification is perhaps the best long-term solution to the chronically-low intake of omega-3 fatty acids that plagues western cultures.
随着对长链、鱼油衍生的ω-3脂肪酸（二十碳五烯酸和二十二碳六烯酸）心脏保护特性的认识不断提高，官方饮食指南也在不断更新。卫生组织和政府机构通常建议的摄入量要么维持现状（在大多数西方国家约为100-200毫克/天），要么旨在积极降低心血管疾病风险。后者通常约为400-600毫克/天，这一数量可能会刺激商业利益，促使食品中添加ω-3脂肪酸。强化或许是解决困扰西方文化的ω-3脂肪酸长期摄入量低问题的最佳长期解决方案。
