What do I look for in fish oil supplements?
When you refer to a Fish Oil product the label may show the total omega-3 content, but will show the level of EPA and DHA. It is important to look at and understand exactly how much EPA and DHA is contained in your product of choice as it is the content of EPA and DHA that provides the therapeutic benefits.
The EPA+DHA content in a product will vary from one formula and brand to the next, as omega-3 is now available in standard and concentrated liquids and 1000mg, 1500mg and 2000mg capsules.
As a general rule, a standard 1000mg fish oil capsule contains 300mg of EPA+DHA [180mg of EPA and 120mg of DHA].
Please see the recommended dosage indicated on the product label or consult your healthcare professional. For further information on Nature's Own range contact our naturopathic health line 1300 130 612.
Always read the label. Use only as directed.
