NOW Foods DHA-500 Fish Oil, Double Strength is a high-potency Omega-3 dietary supplement formulated to provide concentrated DHA and EPA in an easy-to-use softgel. Each softgel contains 500 mg of DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) and 250 mg of EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid), providing a total of 750 mg of Omega-3 fatty acids.
DHA is an important structural component of the brain and is associated with normal cognitive and nervous-system function. NOW Foods markets DHA-500 primarily for brain health while also noting cardiovascular support. The product uses molecularly distilled fish oil and is tested for potentially harmful contaminants such as mercury, PCBs, dioxins and heavy metals.
The softgels are enteric coated and odor controlled, which can make them easier to tolerate for people who experience fishy aftertaste, nausea or reflux with conventional fish-oil products. The recommended use from NOW Foods is 1 softgel 1–2 times daily with food.
The product contains fish oil derived from fish including anchovies, sardines and tuna, and the softgel uses bovine gelatin. NOW Foods also identifies the product as non-GMO, halal, keto-friendly and made without gluten.
Important: This is a dietary supplement, not a medicine. People who are pregnant or nursing, taking medication, or have an existing medical condition should consult a healthcare professional before using it.
