8 things to know
EPA and DHA are the ones that count
Omega-3 is a family of fats. The two the UK’s authorised health claims are about are EPA and DHA, found mainly in oily fish. Plant foods like flax and walnuts give you ALA, a different omega-3.
What they contribute to
EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart.* DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function.** DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision.**
Fish first
The NHS suggests at least two portions of fish a week, one of them oily. If you reliably eat that, you may not need a supplement at all.

“1,000 mg fish oil” is the whole oil, not the omega-3 in it. Look for EPA and DHA in milligrams per daily dose.

Cod liver oil also carries vitamin A. Omega-3 Plus is made from anchovy, mackerel, sardine, tuna and salmon oil, with no fish-liver oil and no added vitamin A in its ingredients.

Fish can carry mercury, PCBs and other contaminants. Omega-3 Plus is screened for over 200 of them, and every batch is tested for purity and potency.
