What matters when comparing fish oils

The number that matters is EPA and DHA per serving, not the total fish oil weight on the front of the bottle. A 1000 mg capsule of standard fish oil typically contains only about 300 mg of combined EPA and DHA; the rest is other fats. Always compare the EPA/DHA figures, which is why they are stated on every pack here.

Why enteric coating?

The most common reason people stop taking fish oil is fishy repeat — the burp. An enteric coating delays the capsule dissolving until past the stomach, which largely removes it. If you have abandoned fish oil before for this reason, the enteric-coated 120-count is the version to try.

How to take it

• Take with a meal containing some fat — absorption is better and stomach upset less likely.
• Be consistent. Omega-3 status changes over weeks, not days.
• Store away from heat and light; fish oil oxidises. If capsules smell strongly rancid, discard them.
• If you take blood thinners, have a bleeding disorder, or have surgery scheduled, speak to your doctor before supplementing omega-3.

Frequently asked questions

How much EPA and DHA do these softgels contain?

Each serving provides 2000 mg of fish oil delivering 360 mg EPA and 240 mg DHA — 600 mg of combined omega-3 per serving.

Why does fish oil make you burp, and how do you stop it?

Standard softgels dissolve in the stomach, so the fish oil can repeat. An enteric coating delays dissolution until past the stomach, which largely eliminates it. The 120-count pack is enteric-coated.

When is the best time to take fish oil?

With a meal that contains some fat. That improves absorption and reduces the chance of stomach upset. Time of day matters less than taking it consistently.

Is fish oil worth taking if I already eat fish?

If you eat oily fish a couple of times a week you may already meet common intake targets. Supplementation is most useful for people who rarely eat oily fish, which includes a large share of vegetarian-leaning Indian diets that include no fish at all.
