Solgar Fish Oil Concentrate 1000 mg is a fish oil food supplement in a pack of 60 softgels, providing the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. Each softgel supplies 160 mg of EPA and 100 mg of DHA, so one softgel a day gives a total of 260 mg.

Key Features

• EPA and DHA in one softgel: Each softgel provides 160 mg of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and 100 mg of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) from 1000 mg of fish oil concentrate.
• Heart function: EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg of EPA and DHA, which one softgel provides.
• Purified fish oil: Solgar states the oil is molecularly distilled to remove mercury.
• Free from sugar, salt and starch: The label also lists the product as free from gluten, wheat, dairy, yeast, preservatives, sweeteners and artificial flavours or colours.

What are EPA and DHA?

EPA and DHA are the two main omega-3 fatty acids found in oily fish such as sardines, mackerel and salmon. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids, which means the body cannot make them on its own.

Is Solgar Fish Oil Concentrate 1000 mg suitable for vegetarians?

No. The softgel shell contains gelatin from bovine (cattle) sources, and the oil itself comes from fish, so the product is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.

How long does a pack of 60 softgels last?

The recommended dose is 1 softgel a day, so a pack of 60 softgels lasts 60 days.

• Gluten-Free

Ingredients: Fish oil concentrate 1000 mg per softgel, providing EPA 160 mg and DHA 100 mg (omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, as natural triglycerides).

As a food supplement for adults, take 1 softgel daily, preferably at mealtime, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner. Do not exceed the directions for use.
