Description
Solgar Full Spectrum Omega Salmon Oil 120 Softgels is a food supplement providing omega-3 fatty acids from wild Alaskan salmon oil together with vitamin D3, taken as two softgels a day. Each serving provides 425 mg of combined EPA and DHA, meeting the daily intake associated with the maintenance of normal heart function, alongside 5 µg (100% NRV) of vitamin D3 for normal immune function and normal bones and muscle. Combining omega-3s and vitamin D3 in one softgel means both nutrients are covered without needing two separate supplements.
Key Features
- Omega-3s with vitamin D3 in one softgel: Each serving provides 550 mg of omega-3 fatty acids (including 225 mg EPA and 200 mg DHA) from wild Alaskan salmon oil, alongside 5 µg (100% NRV) of vitamin D3.
- Supports normal heart function: Provides 425 mg of combined EPA and DHA per serving, meeting the 250 mg daily intake associated with the maintenance of normal heart function.
- Also supports immunity, bones and muscle: The vitamin D3 content contributes to normal immune function, maintenance of normal bones and muscle function, and normal absorption of calcium.
- Sourced from wild Alaskan salmon: The oil is sourced from wild Alaskan salmon rather than farmed fish.
Does this supplement support brain function or vision?
DHA is associated with the maintenance of normal brain function and normal vision, but those claims require a daily intake of 250 mg of DHA on its own. This product provides 200 mg of DHA per 2-softgel serving, so that specific claim does not apply at the stated dose. The 425 mg of combined EPA and DHA per serving does meet the intake associated with the maintenance of normal heart function.
Can I take this if I'm on blood-thinning medication?
If you take anticoagulant or antiplatelet medication, such as warfarin, speak to your doctor or pharmacist before taking this supplement, as fish oil may increase the risk of bleeding.
Is this supplement suitable for vegetarians or vegans?
No. This product contains fish oil and a softgel shell made from bovine gelatin, so it is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.
Does this provide enough vitamin D on its own?
Each serving provides 5 µg of vitamin D3 (100% of the Nutrient Reference Value), which is half the 10 µg a day the UK Department of Health and Social Care recommends for most adults, particularly in autumn and winter. Anyone relying on this product to meet the full recommended amount may want to consider an additional vitamin D supplement or dietary sources.
