Omega-3
Omega-3 Fish Oil
For hearts that don't get fatty fish twice a week.
Why it earns a place
EPA and DHA support heart and brain health, and most people simply don't eat salmon, sardines or mackerel often enough. Look at the EPA+DHA number on the back, not the total fish oil on the front â that's where cheap products hide.
Who it's for
Anyone eating fatty fish less than twice a week, especially on the heart-health journey.
Who should skip it
You're vegan (use algae oil), or you take a blood thinner â ask your doctor first.
Dose
1â2g combined EPA + DHA daily.
Timing
With a meal, to reduce any fishy aftertaste.
Typical price
$20â$45
Common questions
How much EPA and DHA do I need?
Aim for 1â2g combined per day from supplements if you rarely eat fatty fish.
Why does mine taste fishy?
Usually oxidation. Buy fresh, store it in the fridge, and take it with food.
