NOW Foods Omega-3 Fish Oil is a dietary supplement providing 1,000 mg of concentrated fish oil per softgel, containing 180 mg EPA and 120 mg DHA per capsule. The 30-softgel pack is molecularly distilled to ensure it is free from contaminants such as mercury, heavy metals, and dioxins. Manufactured by NOW Foods and subject to strict quality control, it is compliant with GOED (Global Organization for EPA and DHA Omega-3s) quality standards.
Each softgel contains 1,000 mg of concentrated fish oil. One serving (2 softgels) provides 2,000 mg of fish oil including 360 mg EPA and 240 mg DHA. The fish oil is sourced from high-quality anchovies, sardines, and tuna. The product also contains natural Vitamin E (d-alpha Tocopherol from sunflower) as an antioxidant to maintain oil freshness. The capsule is made from BSE-free bovine gelatin.
Omega-3 fatty acids play an important role in supporting several health aspects. EPA supports cardiovascular and circulatory health by helping maintain healthy triglyceride levels and supporting normal inflammatory response. DHA concentrates in brain and retinal tissues, supporting cognitive function and eye health. According to the FDA, supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.
Omega-3 fish oil supplements are suitable for those who do not regularly consume fatty fish (at least twice weekly as recommended by the American Heart Association). They are beneficial for supporting cardiovascular health and maintaining healthy triglyceride levels, as well as supporting cognitive function, focus, and memory. Use as part of a healthy lifestyle that includes balanced nutrition and exercise.
Take 2 softgels twice daily with food (total 4 softgels daily). Taking capsules with a meal containing some fat helps improve absorption and comfort. Store in a cool, dry place after opening. Discard the inedible freshness packet inside the bottle.
Consult a physician before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medications (especially blood thinners), or having any medical condition. People with fish allergies should avoid this product. For adults only; keep out of reach of children. Not manufactured with yeast, wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, shellfish, or sesame ingredients.
