1000mg FISH OIL per softgel
Applied Nutrition Omega 3 is a 100-softgel essential fatty acid supplement built for trainees managing daily omega-3 intake alongside structured training. Each softgel delivers 1000mg of fish oil providing 180mg of EPA and 120mg of DHA, plus 4.5mg of vitamin E as a natural antioxidant. The bottle provides 100 servings - over three months of daily use.
EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are the two omega-3 fatty acids researched most extensively for cardiovascular and metabolic support. At 180mg EPA + 120mg DHA per softgel, two softgels daily reach 600mg combined - exceeding the 250mg EFSA-authorised threshold for the heart-function claim under Regulation 432/2012 (EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart). Vitamin E at 4.5mg supports the protection of cells from oxidative stress and prevents the fish oil from oxidising on the shelf.
What separates a fish-oil softgel from plant-based omega-3 like flax is the form. Plant-based omega-3 (ALA) requires conversion to EPA and DHA inside the body, and the conversion rate is low (around 5-10%). Fish oil delivers EPA and DHA directly, making it the more efficient source per mg. The softgel format keeps the fish oil fresh and removes the taste consideration that bottled liquid fish oils carry.
Omega 3 suits athletes and lifters managing daily omega-3 intake alongside training, trainees whose diet runs lean on oily fish, adults supporting cardiovascular markers, and anyone running a daily essential-fatty-acid routine. Not for those with fish allergy, those on blood-thinning medication without medical supervision, or vegans (a plant-based algae omega-3 covers that requirement).
Alternative: Applied Nutrition Tri-Omega 369 for trainees wanting the broader omega-3-6-9 spectrum including flaxseed and sunflower oils alongside fish oil.
