Servings Per Container

30

Best Time to Take

With meals

Recommended Daily Intake

Adults: 250-500mg combined EPA+DHA per day for general health; 2-4g/day for triglyceride reduction (under medical supervision)

Upper Tolerable Limit

3000mg/day combined EPA+DHA (EFSA); up to 5000mg/day considered safe by FDA for prescription use under supervision

Absorption Enhancers

Take with a fat-containing meal to enhance absorption; lipase enzyme activity improves uptake in the presence of dietary fat

Absorption Inhibitors

Taking on an empty stomach reduces absorption and increases risk of gastrointestinal discomfort; high-fiber meals may slightly reduce absorption

Side Effects

Possible Side Effects

Fishy aftertaste or burping, nausea, loose stools, or mild gastrointestinal discomfort, particularly at higher doses; risk of increased bleeding time at doses above 3g/day

Toxicity Risk

Low

Upper Tolerable Limit

3000mg/day combined EPA+DHA (EFSA); up to 5000mg/day considered safe by FDA for prescription use under supervision

Safety & Warnings

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to fish/fish oil (and possibly other capsule excipients); bleeding disorders/anticoagulant use are precautions rather than absolute contraindications

Pregnancy Safety

Consult Doctor

Breastfeeding Safety

Safe (generally compatible with breastfeeding at recommended doses; consult clinician if using high doses or on anticoagulants)

Children Suitability

Consult a healthcare professional for use in children under 12; not specifically formulated for pediatric use

Interactions

Medication Interactions

Anticoagulants (warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel) - may enhance blood-thinning effect at high doses; antihypertensives - may have additive blood pressure-lowering effect; cyclosporine - may alter drug levels

Supplement Interactions

Vitamin E - fish oil may deplete vitamin E stores at high doses; combined use with other blood-thinning supplements (ginkgo, garlic, ginger) increases bleeding risk

Special Populations

Target Population

Individuals with low dietary fish intake, people concerned with cardiovascular health, and those looking to support brain and eye function.

Children Suitability

Consult a healthcare professional for use in children under 12; not specifically formulated for pediatric use

Pregnancy Safety

Consult Doctor

Breastfeeding Safety

Safe (generally compatible with breastfeeding at recommended doses; consult clinician if using high doses or on anticoagulants)

Storage & Patient Advice

SFDA Storage Conditions

store below 25°c

Storage Conditions

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children

Patient Counseling

Take with a meal (preferably containing fat) to improve absorption and reduce GI upset. Do not exceed the recommended dose without medical advice. If you use anticoagulants/antiplatelets or have a bleeding disorder or are due for surgery, consult your clinician (omega‑3s may increase bleeding tendency at higher doses). Store below 25°C (per SFDA). Discard if capsules smell rancid/are past expiry.

Science & Evidence

Bioavailability Form

Unknown. Fish oil concentrates can be in ethyl ester (EE) or triglyceride (TG) form. Natural fish oil is in the TG form, which is generally considered more bioavailable than the EE form.

Water or Fat Soluble

Fat-soluble

Scientific Evidence Level

Strong

Onset Timeline

Blood triglyceride reduction observed within 4-8 weeks; cardiovascular and anti-inflammatory benefits typically seen after 8-12 weeks of consistent use

Food Sources

Fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring, sardines, and tuna. Plant-based sources like flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts provide ALA, a precursor to EPA and DHA.
