OMEGA 3 1000 mg VITAMIN E EPA 330 DHA 220 90 CAPSULES

Omega 3 1000 mg with vitamin E - EPA 330 mg, DHA 220 mg, 90 capsules

When it comes to omega, one question matters most: how much of the declared oil mass is actually EPA and DHA. The answer is directly stated on this label in the table. The manufacturer provides all the numbers separately and links them to a clearly defined basis, printed in the table header - the daily serving is exactly one capsule.

It contains 1000 mg of fish oil, including 330 mg of eicosapentaenoic acid, or EPA, and 220 mg of docosahexaenoic acid, or DHA. Additionally, it includes 12 mg of vitamin E in the form of dl-alpha-tocopheryl acetate, which corresponds to 100% of the reference intake value. The capsule is soft, and its coating consists of gelatin, glycerol, and water, so it is not a vegan or vegetarian product.

The country of origin is stated as Poland, and the label includes an allergen declaration regarding fish, which is worth checking before purchase.

Ingredients

Content per daily serving, i.e. in one capsule:

• Fish oil - 1000 mg
• EPA, eicosapentaenoic acid - 330 mg
• DHA, docosahexaenoic acid - 220 mg
• Vitamin E (dl-alpha-tocopheryl acetate) - 12 mg (100% RWS)
• Capsule coating: gelatin, glycerol, water

The way this label is written can be recognized by the asterisks: the manufacturer marks the positions that make up the coating, i.e. gelatin, glycerol, and water, so at first glance, it is clear what is the content of the capsule and what is its wall. This distinction is useful for two groups of buyers at once: those avoiding gelatin and those who want to separate the mass of oil from the mass of the entire capsule.

The second thing is the form of vitamin E: the manufacturer provides dl-alpha-tocopheryl acetate, which is a synthetic form, not the natural d-alpha-tocopherol, and writes it in the composition with its full chemical name. In the oil preparation, this position works doubly - it is a declared nutrient in the amount of 12 mg, i.e. 100% of the reference intake value, and at the same time an antioxidant protecting the oil itself in the capsule.

The third thing is the basis of the entire table: all values refer to one capsule, not to a serving composed of several, so they are read directly.

Specification

How to use

The manufacturer provides one simple scheme, consistent with the basis given in the composition table:

• One capsule daily
• Do not exceed the recommended serving
• Swallow the capsule whole and drink with water
• Pregnant and breastfeeding women and sick individuals should consult a doctor beforehand

The manufacturer only provides the frequency (one capsule daily), so choose the time of day to ensure it can be maintained without reminders. Recommended storage is below 25 degrees Celsius and a place away from direct sunlight.

For whom

This is a choice for someone who wants specific, directly stated amounts of EPA and DHA, not just the declaration of “1000 mg omega 3” without breakdown. It will be useful if you compare products based on the content of the acids themselves, as only these two numbers allow for a fair comparison of different packages from the shelf.

The addition of vitamin E at full reference value is practical for two reasons at once, as tocopherol also serves as an antioxidant protecting the oil itself from oxidation in the packaging. The coating consists of gelatin, and the raw material is fish oil, so the product is neither vegan nor vegetarian.

Individuals allergic to fish should simply skip this product and look for plant-based omega, and those taking anticoagulant medications should establish the use of omega-3 acids with a doctor beforehand, as this is a real interaction worth checking before purchase, not after.

Frequently asked questions

How much EPA and DHA is in one capsule?

The manufacturer states 330 mg of EPA and 220 mg of DHA per one capsule, which constitutes the entire daily serving. Both numbers are in the composition table next to the mass of fish oil, which is 1000 mg, so you can see both the amount of raw material and the content of individual acids.

Is the product vegan?

No, it is not. The raw material is fish oil, and the capsule coating consists of gelatin, glycerol, and water, which the manufacturer states directly in the composition and marks with an asterisk as coating ingredients. The manufacturer also includes an allergen declaration: the product contains fish. People on a plant-based diet should look for omega derived from microalgae.

What form of vitamin E is in the composition?

dl-alpha-tocopheryl acetate in the amount of 12 mg, which corresponds to 100% of the reference intake value. This is a synthetic form, not the natural d-alpha-tocopherol, and the manufacturer writes it in the composition with its full chemical name. In oil preparations, vitamin E also serves as an antioxidant protecting the oil itself from oxidation.

How many capsules are in the package?

The package contains 90 soft capsules with a total net weight of 91.08 g. With the recommended serving of one capsule daily, this is a supply for a longer period of regular use. Follow the expiration date printed on the package, and keep the package closed, in a cool and dry place - such storage conditions are provided by the manufacturer.

Variants and category

This manufacturer also offers a version of omega combined with vitamins D3 and K2, but that is a separate product with a different composition. From the same line, we have magnesium in capsules Magnesium Complex and a complex of B vitamins in tablets - these are preparations with completely different purposes, not variants of this omega. We have gathered everything in the Supplements category.
