Webber Naturals Omega-3 1000 mg Fish Oil Softgels, 210 Softgels

Webber Naturals Omega-3 is a straightforward fish oil in 1000 mg softgels. The 210-softgel bottle lasts about seven months at one a day, which makes it one of the better-value ways to keep up your omega-3s.

EPA and DHA

EPA and DHA are the omega-3s that matter in fish oil. A 1000 mg softgel holds 1000 mg of oil, and part of that is EPA and DHA. Check the label panel for the exact amounts when you compare products. DHA is concentrated in the brain and retina. EPA is involved in the body's inflammatory signalling.

Who it's for

Canada's Food Guide suggests eating fish regularly. If oily fish such as salmon, mackerel or sardines isn't part of your usual diet, a fish oil supplement can help close the gap.

Tips

• Take with a meal for better absorption and fewer fishy burps.
• Keep the bottle in the fridge to slow oxidation.
• If the softgels smell rancid, throw them out.

Before you start

• Ask your doctor first if you take blood thinners, such as warfarin, apixaban, rivaroxaban, clopidogrel or daily ASA.
• Stop use before surgery.
• Not suitable if you have a fish allergy.
• Ask a health professional before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
