An omega supplement provides omega fatty acids, usually omega-3, omega-6, or both, which the body needs for normal functions. Whether taking one is useful depends on its ingredients and your usual food sources; it is not a treatment for disease.
You can take an omega supplement at any time of day. Taking it with a meal may reduce stomach discomfort or fishy burps, especially with fish-oil products; follow the directions for the specific supplement you use.
Yes, you can take an omega supplement on an empty stomach, but some people experience nausea or fishy burps that way. If that happens, take it with a meal instead.
No, an omega supplement is not always fish oil. Fish oil is one possible source of omega-3s, while omega supplements may use fish, algae, or other oils and can contain different combinations of fatty acids.
Yes, an omega supplement can be taken daily when you follow the directions for that product. Formulas differ, so do not exceed the label’s serving instructions or accidentally combine several products containing the same omega oils.
Some omega supplements contain both omega-3 and omega-6, while others provide only one type or a particular blend. Check the ingredient list rather than assuming the word “omega” tells you which fatty acids are included.
Yes, fish-oil omega supplements can cause fishy burps or an unpleasant aftertaste in some people. Taking the supplement with food may help; do not use it if the oil smells rancid or tastes unusually bitter.
An omega supplement does not automatically cause weight gain. Because it is oil, it adds energy to your diet, but weight change depends on your overall intake and habits rather than the supplement alone.
Some omega supplements may be suitable during pregnancy, but the ingredients matter. Avoid choosing fish-liver oil products without checking their vitamin A content, and ask your doctor or dietitian which product is appropriate for you.
Store an omega supplement tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Some liquid products need refrigeration after opening, so follow the package directions and discard the product if its oil smells rancid.

An Omega supplement is a fat-based dietary supplement providing omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Depending on the product, its oils may come from fish, algae or plants; formulas and forms vary, with liquids taken by spoon and capsules swallowed with water.
The flavour ranges from mild to distinctly oily, so people often take a liquid version with a meal rather than adding it to food. In many households it is used as part of a breakfast routine, while capsules can be easier to take on the go. Its nutritional profile is almost entirely fat, and a medium teaspoon is about 5 g. If you prefer a less noticeable taste, choose capsules and follow the serving directions on the label.
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.
