Medicinal ingredients Each softgel contains: Marine fish oil (anchovy, cod, sardine and/or tuna flesh) 1,000 mg EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) 400 mg DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) 200 mg Vitamin E (d-alpha tocopheryl) 6.7 mg (10 IU) Dosage Adults: Take 3 softgels daily, before a meal. Benefits & Recommended for The World Health Organization recommends consuming between 1.1 to 1.6 g of Omega 3 daily, for both men and women. To reach these recommended intakes, we must consume three fatty fish meals per week or turn to supplements. Omega 3 have proven their benefits on the cardiovascular system in several clinical studies, both in maintaining a healthy heart and in preventing heart diseases. Enteric softgel capsules The enteric capsules used in this product are designed to resist stomach acid and prevent capsules from releasing fish oil in the stomach. This action increases the quantity of intact fatty acids that reach the intestines for a better efficacy and also reduces the chances of fishy aftertaste due to repeats (burping). A natural tangerine-lime flavour has been added to the softgels to reduce fishy after taste. Note All AG Natural Health omega products are tested for contaminants (lead, mercury, bacteria, PCBs, etc.) and pass pharmaceutical quality and purity standards. Important for pregnant women: Health Canada recommends that pregnant women limit their consumption of fish to once a week, in order to reduce the risks of heavy metal contamination, therefore, they should resort to supplements in order to meet their daily nutritional needs. DHA is critically important for proper brain, eye and nerve development in the fetus.
