Omega-3 High-purity DHA & EPA for real hormonal support

Fish oil supplements are generally well tolerated. The most commonly reported effects are a fishy aftertaste, mild nausea, or looser stools, often reduced by taking capsules with food (1). Serious side effects are rare at standard doses, though people on blood-thinning medication or with a fish allergy should speak to a healthcare professional before use. Excessive intake beyond the recommended dose may cause a laxative effect, so it's best to stick to the dose stated on the label.

The "1000mg" on a fish oil label refers to the total fish oil content, not the amount of active omega 3. Most standard 1000mg capsules provide only around 300mg of combined EPA and DHA (1). SOVA's Omega-3 is more concentrated, delivering 700mg of combined EPA and DHA per 1000mg capsule. Checking the EPA and DHA content, not just the total fish oil weight, is the most reliable way to compare products.

A daily intake of 250mg combined EPA and DHA is recognised as sufficient to support normal heart function, and 250mg of DHA specifically supports normal brain function (1). With SOVA's Omega-3, a single capsule already exceeds this threshold, whereas standard 1000mg fish oil supplements often need two to three capsules to reach the same intake. The recommended SOVA dose is two capsules a day, taken with a meal. Always follow the dosage stated on the product label.

Fish oil made from the flesh of fish, rather than fish liver oil, is generally compatible with pregnancy and breastfeeding, unlike cod liver oil, which contains vitamin A and should be avoided during pregnancy (1). Maternal DHA intake supports the normal development of the baby's brain and eyes (2). SOVA's Omega-3 is made from fish oil, not fish liver oil, and is formulated to be compatible with pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility treatments. As with any supplement, check with a midwife, GP, or pharmacist before starting a new one.

There is no strong evidence that morning or evening intake changes how well EPA and DHA are absorbed. What matters more is taking the capsules with a meal containing some fat, since dietary fat improves omega 3 absorption (1). Choosing a consistent time is more useful for long-term results than the exact hour. Most people find taking their Omega-3 with breakfast, lunch, or dinner works well.
