Fish Oil Mega EPA/DHA

Fish oil supplements contain the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. Fish oils from supplements or dietary sources can reduce triglycerides by 20-50%, as well as provide other heart-healthy benefits.

Studies have used triglycerides-lowering doses of 1 to 4 grams (1,000 mg to 4,000 mg) daily. A possible benefit is that long-term intake of fish oil might nudge up your HDL cholesterol (the good kind).Fish oil supplements are generally safe and well-tolerated at doses of 3 grams or less daily.

What Should I Look for in a Fish Oil Supplement?

First, always remember that it’s the omega-3s that count. When making your purchase, be sure to determine the amount of omega-3s per serving. Many doctors often recommend 1000 to 1200 mg of fish oil because that amount of fish oil contains the total amount of omega-3s the doctor wants you to consume. One thousand or 1200 mg of fish oil doesn’t equal 1000 or 1200 mg of omega-3s. A standard 1000 mg fish oil softgel provides around 300 mg of omega-3s (and even less of the important EPA and DHA), and so in order to meet the 500 mg EPA + DHA recommendation, a minimum of two softgels would be necessary. Make sure to read the “Supplement Facts” label to determine the amount of EPA and DHA in a fish oil supplement. Second, quality matters. It is important to purchase fish oil from a reputable manufacturer that follows Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) and takes the necessary steps to purify the oil. In choosing a brand like Nature Made®, the #1 Pharmacist Recommended Omega-3/Fish Oil Brand*, you can rest assured knowing Nature Made has a strong commitment to making quality supplements.
