NOW Foods Ultra Omega-3 180 Fish Softgels

NOW® Ultra Omega-3 provides a concentrated 500 mg EPA and 250 mg DHA per softgel — more omega-3 per capsule than a standard fish oil — in a fish-gelatin softgel that serves as an alternative to bovine and porcine gelatin. EPA and DHA support cardiovascular and brain health.* This oil 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 a high-potency, GOED-quality omega-3 for people who want serious omega-3 intake with fewer softgels, and who prefer a fish-based rather than land-animal gelatin.*

Frequently asked questions

What are EPA and DHA?
EPA and DHA are the two long-chain omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil; this product provides 500 mg EPA and 250 mg DHA per serving. They are important dietary fats that support heart and brain health, and most diets that are low in oily fish fall short of them.*

Is the oil purified?
Yes. This oil 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. Most of these concentrates are molecularly distilled, and NOW participates in the GOED omega-3 quality program.*

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

Cautions & interactions

Omega-3 fish oils can have a mild blood-thinning effect, so talk to your doctor before use if you take anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications (such as warfarin, clopidogrel or daily aspirin), have a bleeding disorder, or are scheduled for surgery. This product contains fish; do not use it if you have a fish allergy, and take it with food to reduce any fishy aftertaste. Consult your physician if pregnant, nursing, taking medication or managing a medical condition, and keep out of reach of children.

Allergen information: fish oil (anchovies, sardines) and fish gelatin (tilapia, basa).

Caution: For adults only. Consult physician if pregnant/nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition. Keep out of reach of children.
