Frequently Asked Questions About Omega 3 Capsule (950 mg)

What is an Omega 3 capsule used for?

An Omega 3 capsule is used to supplement omega-3 fatty acids in the diet. EPA and DHA are the omega-3s most often found in fish-oil capsules, but the amount varies by product, and a capsule is not a treatment for disease.

How many Omega 3 capsules should you take a day?

The number of Omega 3 capsules to take depends on the EPA and DHA in each capsule and why you are taking it. The 950 mg figure alone may describe total oil, not EPA and DHA, so follow the product directions.

Should you take an Omega 3 capsule with food?

Yes, taking an Omega 3 capsule with a meal often helps limit fishy burps and stomach discomfort. A meal containing some fat may also support absorption of the oil.

Does an Omega 3 capsule cause fishy burps?

Yes, an Omega 3 capsule can cause fish-flavored burps or an unpleasant aftertaste. Taking it with food may help; a rancid or unusually strong smell can signal that the oil has spoiled, so do not use it.

What is inside an Omega 3 capsule?

An Omega 3 capsule usually contains an omega-3 oil, often fish oil, inside a soft capsule shell. The source and the amounts of EPA and DHA vary; 950 mg does not necessarily mean 950 mg of EPA and DHA.

Is an Omega 3 capsule the same as fish oil?

Not always. Many Omega 3 capsules contain fish oil, but some use another source, such as algae oil. Fish oil is one way to supply omega-3s, rather than a synonym for every omega-3 supplement.

Can you open an Omega 3 capsule and take the oil?

Some Omega 3 capsules can be opened, but follow the product directions because capsule types differ. Once exposed to air, the oil can oxidize more readily, so use it promptly rather than leaving it open.

Can you take an Omega 3 capsule with blood thinners?

Do not start an Omega 3 capsule alongside blood-thinning medication without medical advice. Omega-3 supplements may affect bleeding risk, so a clinician should consider your medication and the amount in the product.

How should you store an Omega 3 capsule?

Store an Omega 3 capsule tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Warmth and air can make the oil deteriorate; follow different storage instructions if they are printed on the package.

Can you take an Omega 3 capsule during pregnancy?

Omega-3 intake can matter during pregnancy, but an Omega 3 capsule is not automatically suitable for everyone. Check its source and formulation with your prenatal care provider, particularly before using a product containing fish oil or other added ingredients.

What is Omega 3 Capsule (950 mg)?

An Omega 3 Capsule (950 mg) is a soft capsule containing oil that provides omega-3 fatty acids. The oil may come from different sources, so check the product label to see whether it uses fish oil, algal oil or another source.
