NOW Foods DHA-250 Fish Oil 120 Softgels

NOW® DHA-500 is a concentrated fish oil that emphasizes DHA, the primary omega-3 in the brain, delivering 500 mg DHA and 250 mg EPA per serving. DHA supports brain health and plays a role in cognitive function, while the accompanying EPA rounds out this omega-3.* This fish oil concentrate is manufactured under strict quality-control standards and tested to be free of potentially harmful levels of contaminants such as PCBs, dioxins, mercury and other heavy metals. It is an ideal choice for people who specifically want higher DHA — for brain and cognitive support — rather than a standard EPA-forward fish oil.*

About the key ingredients

• DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) – 500 mg with EPA 250 mg: A DHA-concentrated omega-3 from purified fish oil; DHA is the primary structural omega-3 in the brain and supports brain and cognitive health.* Learn more about Omega-3 from the NIH.
• Other ingredients: Delivered in a softgel [bovine gelatin (BSE-free), glycerin, water] with natural vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol) added to protect the oil from oxidation.

Who it's for

This DHA-forward fish oil suits adults (and, at appropriate doses, older children) who specifically want to emphasize DHA for brain and cognitive support rather than a standard EPA-heavy omega-3.* It appeals to students, busy professionals and older adults focused on cognitive wellness, and to anyone whose diet is low in oily fish.* The purified, molecularly distilled oil is a fit for those who want a clean, tested source.*

Frequently asked questions

What are EPA and DHA?
EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are the two long-chain omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil. This product provides 250 mg EPA and 500 mg DHA per serving. Omega-3s are important building blocks that support heart and brain health as part of a balanced diet.*

Why choose a DHA-concentrated fish oil?
Most standard fish oils are EPA-forward; a DHA-concentrated product like this emphasizes DHA, the primary omega-3 in brain tissue, making it a targeted choice for people focused on brain and cognitive support.*

Is the fish oil purified?
Yes. This fish oil concentrate is manufactured under strict quality-control standards and tested to be free of potentially harmful levels of contaminants such as PCBs, dioxins, mercury and other heavy metals. Many of these concentrates are also molecularly distilled, and NOW participates in the GOED omega-3 quality program.*

How should I take it?
Take it with food, which helps absorption of these fat-soluble nutrients and reduces any fishy aftertaste. Follow the serving size on the label or your healthcare provider's guidance, and keep the bottle sealed and cool to protect the oil.*
