Solgar Double Strength Omega-3 30 Softgels is a fish oil food supplement that provides the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA from cold water fish oil concentrate. EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart, and this benefit is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg. The 4 softgels taken daily provide 2400 mg of EPA and DHA combined, well above that amount.

Key Features

EPA and DHA amounts: 4 softgels provide 1440 mg of EPA and 960 mg of DHA, from 4800 mg of cold water fish oil concentrate.
Molecularly distilled: Solgar states that the fish oil is molecularly distilled to remove mercury.
Free from common additives: The label states the softgels are free of gluten, wheat, dairy, yeast, preservatives, sweeteners, artificial flavours and colours. Solgar also lists them as free from sugar, salt and starch.
Bovine gelatin shell: The softgel shell is made with gelatin from bovine sources, so the softgels are not suitable for vegans or vegetarians.

What do EPA and DHA each contribute to?

EPA and DHA together contribute to the normal function of the heart. DHA also contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and the maintenance of normal vision, each with a daily intake of 250 mg of DHA. Four softgels provide 960 mg of DHA.

How long does a 30-softgel pack last?

At the directed 4 softgels a day, a pack of 30 softgels lasts 7 days, with 2 softgels left over.

Can this replace eating oily fish?

No. Solgar says EPA and DHA are commonly found in oily fish such as sardines, mackerel and salmon, but food supplements should not be used instead of a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
