Fish Oil
50 fish oil products - standard omega-3, high-strength EPA, cod liver oil and liquids, from Solgar, Lamberts, Biocare, Natures Aid, Wiley's Finest and Quest.
Which claims are approved?
EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart at a daily intake of 250mg combined. DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and normal vision, also at 250mg a day. Note that neither claim relates to joints - that is worth saying, because it is where the category is often mis-sold.
The number that matters
Not the capsule size. A 1000mg fish oil capsule contains perhaps 300mg of combined EPA and DHA; a high-strength one might contain 700mg from the same weight of oil. Turn the pack over, find the EPA and DHA figures, and compare those. It is the single biggest source of confusion in this category and the easiest thing to get right.
Cod liver oil is a different product
It supplies vitamins A and D as well as omega-3. That makes it useful in winter, but it also means it should not be taken in pregnancy without advice, because of the retinol content, and that you should not double up with a separate high-dose vitamin A supplement.
Freshness, sourcing and interactions
Fish oil oxidises, which is why capsules that smell strongly fishy are past their best. Look for sustainability certification if that matters to you - several brands here carry it. If you take blood-thinning medication, speak to your GP before starting a high-dose product, and stop before surgery if advised.
Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
