A fish oil supplement provides the omega-3 fats EPA and DHA, which support normal heart and brain function. It is not a proven way to prevent or treat heart disease, and benefits depend on the amount of EPA and DHA in the product.
There is no single daily amount that suits everyone: the 1320 mg on a fish oil supplement label does not necessarily equal its EPA and DHA content. Check those amounts on the label and follow the product directions rather than judging the dose by total oil weight.
Yes, taking a fish oil supplement with a meal is often easier on the stomach and may reduce fishy burps. If you notice an aftertaste, try taking it during or just after a meal rather than on an empty stomach.
Yes, fishy-tasting burps or an aftertaste are common complaints with fish oil supplements, and some people also get mild stomach discomfort. Taking the capsule with food may help; stop taking it and seek advice if symptoms persist or are severe.
A fish oil supplement may affect bleeding risk, particularly at higher amounts, so combining it with blood-thinning medication needs individual review. Ask your doctor or pharmacist before starting one if you take anticoagulants or antiplatelet medicines.
Some people use omega-3 supplements during pregnancy, but product quality and the amount of DHA matter, and fish liver oils can contain vitamin A that is unsuitable in excess. Ask your prenatal care provider before choosing a fish oil supplement.
Omega-3 fats can lower high triglyceride levels when used in appropriate amounts, but over-the-counter fish oil capsules are not interchangeable with prescribed treatment. Do not change a prescribed medicine or dose based on a supplement.
A fish oil supplement is processed: oil is extracted from fish, then may be purified or concentrated before being put into capsules. Processing methods and the amounts of EPA and DHA differ by product.
Store a fish oil supplement in its closed container, away from heat, light, and moisture, and follow the package instructions. Fish oil can oxidize over time; discard capsules that smell rancid or are past their use-by date.
Yes, but taking a fish oil supplement on an empty stomach may make fishy burps or stomach discomfort more noticeable. If that happens, take it with a meal; there is no special need to take it before eating.

Fish oil supplement (1320 mg) is oil derived from fish, most often sold in softgel capsules or as a liquid. It provides omega-3 fats, though the amounts and types of omega-3 can vary between products.
People commonly take it as part of a daily routine, often with a meal; it is not usually served as a food in its own right. Nutritionally, it is almost entirely fat, with no protein or carbohydrate. If you prefer not to consume fish, a plant-based omega-3 product may suit you better. Follow the serving directions on the label, and check them before opening a capsule to mix its contents into food.
Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Low
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
