Omega-3 Complex from Bodyperson Labs - 90 soft gelatin capsules with concentrated fish oil. A source of EPA and DHA - two key fatty acids that the body does not synthesize on its own and must be obtained from food or supplements.
Composition and dosage: what's inside each capsule
One capsule - one serving per day. The basis of the composition is fish oil from cold-water fish, which provides eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These two forms of omega-3 are considered the most digestible from animal sources compared to plant counterparts (alpha-linolenic acid from flax or nuts).
- Release form: soft gelatin capsules (gel)
- Servings: 90 capsules - approximately 3 months when taking 1 capsule per day
- Source: fish oil from cold-water fish
- Active ingredients: EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid)
The product is characterized by a characteristic fishy smell - this is a natural property of concentrated fish oil with a high content of active acids, and not a sign of low quality.
How much omega-3 should you take per day and how should you take it?
The manufacturer recommends 1 capsule per day, preferably after a meal. Taking after a meal is standard practice for fat-soluble supplements: together with food containing fats, the absorption of fatty acids is better. Wash down with plenty of water.
A package of 90 capsules is designed for approximately 3 months of daily intake - a convenient format for those who include omega-3 in their regular diet, rather than taking it in 30-day courses.
EPA and DHA: what is the difference and why both acids are needed
EPA and DHA are not interchangeable. EPA is more often associated with supporting the cardiovascular system and is one of the building blocks of cell membranes. DHA is a structural component found in brain and retinal tissues; the body practically does not synthesize it on its own after a certain age.
Omega-3 from fish oil provides both acids in ready form - unlike plant sources, which only contain ALA, which the body converts into EPA/DHA with low efficiency (according to various estimates - from 5 to 15%).
Who is this format of omega-3 complex suitable for?
Soft gelatin capsule - a neutral and familiar format. Suitable for those who do not want liquid fish oil from a spoon or soluble powders with a fishy taste. One capsule per day makes it easy to include the supplement in your daily routine.
A package of 90 capsules reduces the frequency of orders - relevant if omega-3 is part of a regular set of supplements along with vitamin D3, magnesium or other nutrients.
- For those who rarely eat fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, herring) - 2-3 servings per week are considered a sufficient dietary source of EPA/DHA
- For those who choose a supplement for long-term use without interruptions
- For those who value convenience: one capsule after breakfast or lunch
Storage conditions and important nuances
Fish oil is sensitive to heat and direct sunlight - store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Once opened, it is recommended to use the package within a reasonable time.
Bodyperson Labs Omega-3 Complex is a dietary supplement, not a medicine. Before taking it, if you have chronic diseases or are taking medications that affect blood clotting, you should consult a doctor.
