NOW Omega-3: 180 mg EPA and 120 mg DHA in every softgel
NOW Omega-3 is a fish oil supplement with 1,000 mg of molecularly distilled fish oil per softgel, giving 180 mg of EPA and 120 mg of DHA. A serving of 2 softgels gives 600 mg of EPA and DHA. EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart, with the effect seen at 250 mg a day. NOW Omega-3 suits adults who eat oily fish less than twice a week and want a simple daily softgel from a long-established US brand. The softgel is made from bovine (beef) gelatin, not pork.
What’s in a serving (2 softgels)
| Per serving | Amount |

| EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) | 360 mg |
| DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) | 240 mg |

NOW states the oil is molecularly distilled and tested for contaminants such as mercury, other heavy metals, PCBs and dioxins. Contains fish.
Who it suits

- Simple dosing: 2 softgels with a meal, twice a day on NOW’s label.

No pork. The softgel in this 100-softgel bottle is made from bovine (beef) gelatin, BSE-free, according to NOW’s label. NOW’s fish-gelatin omega-3 is a different product (sold as ‘fish softgels’), so if you avoid beef gelatin, compare the other options in our fish oil range.
