Now Omega-3 1000 MG 100 Soft Gel

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)

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

• Low fish intake: a daily source of EPA and DHA if you rarely eat salmon, sardines or mackerel.
• Training adults: an everyday basic alongside protein and a multivitamin.
• Simple dosing: 2 softgels with a meal, twice a day on NOW’s label.
• Comparing options: see all fish oil and omega supplements.

How to use

NOW’s label: take 2 softgels twice a day with food. Taking them with a meal that contains some fat helps, and splitting the dose between meals can reduce fishy aftertaste. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place after opening.

EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart. The effect is seen with 250 mg of EPA and DHA a day, and one serving of 2 softgels gives 600 mg.

Is the softgel made from pork or beef gelatin?

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.
