BIO-MARINE 60CAP

Benefits & Uses

Primary Benefit

Supports cardiovascular health, brain function, and reduces triglyceride levels through EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids

Health Claims

Supports normal triglyceride levels; contributes to normal heart function; supports brain and cognitive function; DHA contributes to maintenance of normal vision; EPA and DHA support normal blood pressure

Common Deficiency Symptoms

Dry skin, poor memory and concentration, mood disturbances, joint stiffness, elevated triglycerides, poor cardiovascular health markers

Target Population

Adults with low dietary fish intake, and those seeking to support cardiovascular, cognitive, and eye health.

Scientific Evidence Level

Strong

Onset Timeline

Blood triglyceride reduction observed within 4-8 weeks of consistent use; cardiovascular and anti-inflammatory benefits typically seen after 3-6 months

Best Time to Take

With meals

Recommended Daily Intake

Adults: 250-500mg combined EPA+DHA per day for general health; 1000-4000mg/day for cardiovascular benefit (WHO/ESC guidelines)

Upper Tolerable Limit

3000mg/day combined EPA+DHA considered safe by EFSA; FDA considers up to 3000mg/day from supplements as generally recognized as safe (GRAS)

Absorption Enhancers

Take with a fat-containing meal to significantly increase absorption; lipase enzyme activity enhances digestion of fatty acids

Absorption Inhibitors

Taking on an empty stomach reduces absorption and increases risk of gastrointestinal side effects; high intake of saturated fats may compete with omega-3 incorporation into cell membranes

Side Effects

Possible Side Effects

Fishy aftertaste or burping, nausea, loose stools, or mild gastrointestinal discomfort - especially at higher doses; risk of increased bleeding time at doses above 3000mg/day

Toxicity Risk

Low

Upper Tolerable Limit

3000mg/day combined EPA+DHA considered safe by EFSA; FDA considers up to 3000mg/day from supplements as generally recognized as safe (GRAS)

Supplement Interactions

Additive anticoagulant effect when combined with high-dose vitamin E or garlic supplements; may enhance effect of other lipid-lowering supplements

Patient Counseling

Take orally with a meal (preferably with food containing some fat) to improve tolerability and reduce fishy aftertaste/burping. Do not exceed the labeled recommended dose unless advised by a clinician. Consult a doctor/pharmacist before use if you take anticoagulants/antiplatelets (e.g., warfarin, DOACs, aspirin, clopidogrel) or have a bleeding disorder or upcoming surgery. Avoid use if you have fish/seafood allergy unless a clinician confirms suitability.
