Ordinary consumers commonly obtain EPA and DHA from foods such as fatty fish,~~{{efn|1=Cooked salmon contain 500–1,500 mg DHA and 300–1,000 mg EPA per 100 grams of fish. See page: [[Salmon as food#Products|Salmon as food]].}}~~ fish oil dietary supplements, and less commonly from [[seaweed oil|algae oil]] supplements in which the omega-3 doses are lower than those in clinical experiments. A Cooper Center Longitudinal Study that followed 9253 healthy men and women over 10 years revealed that those who took fish oil supplements did not see raised LDL-C levels. In fact, there was a very slight ''decrease'' of LDL-C which was statistically significant but too small to be of any clinical significance. These individuals took fish oil supplements of their own choosing, and it should be recognized that the amounts and ratios of EPA and DHA vary according to the source of fish oil.
