1 piece (medium) of Omega-3 supplement (1000 mg) (1 g) has 9 calories. That works out to 900 calories per 100 g. It contains 0 g of carbs, 0 g of protein, 1 g of fat and 0 g of fiber. Its glycemic index is 0 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
An omega-3 supplement (1000 mg) is a concentrated source of omega-3 fats, usually sold as capsules and sometimes as a liquid. The oil may come from fish, algae or another source, so check the product label if its origin matters to you.
Capsules tend to have little taste, while liquid versions can taste oily. People commonly take them with a meal; they are supplements rather than an ingredient in everyday cooking. Nutritionally, the product is almost entirely fat, with little else contributing energy. Choose a source that suits your diet, and follow the serving directions on the package.

Medium
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.
GLYCEMIC INDEX
GLYCEMIC LOAD
Accounts for portion size — a more realistic measure than GI alone.

Omega 6:3 ratio 0.1:1
Below the ideal 4:1 — a good omega balance.
An omega-3 supplement (1000 mg) can increase intake of EPA and DHA if it contains them; these fatty acids support normal heart and brain function. The 1000 mg usually refers to the total oil in the capsule, not necessarily the amount of EPA and DHA.
The number of omega-3 supplement (1000 mg) capsules to take depends on the product’s EPA and DHA content and its directions. The 1000 mg label alone does not tell you the daily amount of these omega-3 fatty acids.
Not always. Fish oil is a common source of omega-3 supplements, but an omega-3 supplement (1000 mg) may also come from algae or another source. The total amount of fish oil is not the same as its EPA and DHA content.
Taking an omega-3 supplement (1000 mg) with a meal is often more comfortable. Food may reduce fishy burps or stomach upset, which some people experience with these capsules; follow the directions on your product.
An omega-3 supplement (1000 mg) can cause fishy-tasting burps, an unpleasant aftertaste, nausea, or diarrhea in some people. If these effects are troublesome, stop taking it and review the product and directions with a health professional.
An omega-3 supplement (1000 mg) may affect bleeding risk, so people taking blood-thinning medication should ask their doctor before using it. Tell your healthcare team about the supplement before a planned surgery, too.
Yes, but taking an omega-3 supplement (1000 mg) on an empty stomach may cause stomach discomfort or fishy burps for some people. If that happens, try taking it with a meal instead.
Omega-3 intake, particularly DHA, matters during pregnancy, but the 1000 mg on the bottle does not tell you how much DHA the capsule provides. Check the source and contents, and choose a supplement with your prenatal care provider.
Check the supplement facts panel for EPA and DHA, listed separately from the total fish oil. In an omega-3 supplement (1000 mg), 1000 mg commonly refers to total oil, so the combined EPA and DHA amount may be lower.
Store an omega-3 supplement (1000 mg) tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and heat. These conditions help limit oil oxidation; refrigerate it only if the product label specifically recommends refrigeration.
