NatureWise Omega-3 Fish Oil 1000mg EPA & DHA with Vitamin E, 60 Softgels

Product Overview

NatureWise Omega-3 is a lemon-flavoured fish oil softgel, 60 softgels to the bottle. The serving is two softgels, giving 1,000 mg of omega-3 — 600 mg EPA and 400 mg DHA — plus vitamin E. The bottle holds 30 servings, a one-month supply.

Unlike many fish oils, the 1,000 mg here is the omega-3 content, not just the weight of the oil — that is what “extra strength” refers to. The label states the fish is wild caught, and the oil is made in the USA in a cGMP-certified facility.

Ingredients / Specifications

Per serving of 2 softgels (from the supplement facts panel in the product photos):

• Calories 20; total fat 2 g
• Vitamin E (as d-alpha tocopheryl acetate) 3.35 mg — 22% of the Daily Value
• Omega-3 fatty acids 1,000 mg: EPA 600 mg, DHA 400 mg (as ethyl esters)
• Other omega-3 fatty acids 60 mg

Other ingredients: gelatin, glycerin, purified water, lemon flavour.

Contains fish (anchovy, mackerel, sardine) and soy. Does not contain wheat, gluten, dairy, corn, eggs, tree nuts or peanuts.

Key Benefits

• Heart — EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function, and at higher doses they lower blood triglycerides.
• Brain and eyes — DHA is a building block of the brain and the retina, and contributes to their normal function.
• Filling a gap — most people who rarely eat oily fish get very little EPA or DHA from their diet.

What the Label and Listing Claim, and What Is Known

• Heart health — eating oily fish is linked with better heart health, but fish oil capsules have given mixed results in large trials. It is not a heart medicine and must not replace one.
• Cognitive function — omega-3 supplements have not been shown to improve memory or thinking in healthy people.
• Joints, bones and immune health — some evidence that omega-3 eases joint stiffness a little; little for bones or immunity.
• “No fishy burps, unlike other brands” — the lemon flavour helps, and so do taking it with food and keeping the bottle in the fridge. Some people still notice an aftertaste.
• Vitamin E — the small amount here mainly protects the oil from going rancid. This is not a vitamin E supplement.

Important — Bleeding Risk

Omega-3 oils thin the blood slightly. That is usually harmless on its own, but it matters if you are also taking something that does the same thing.

• Do not take it alongside warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel or any other blood thinner without asking your doctor. The effects add up.
• Tell your surgeon or dentist that you take it, and expect to be asked to stop about two weeks before any operation.
• Stop and get medical advice if you notice unusual bruising, nosebleeds, or bleeding that takes longer than normal to stop.

Fish Allergy, Soy and Vegetarians

Contains fish — anchovy, mackerel and sardine — and soy. Do not take it if you are allergic to either. The softgel is made from gelatin, so it is not vegetarian.

Key Features

• 600 mg EPA + 400 mg DHA per 2-softgel serving
• With vitamin E; lemon flavoured
• 60 softgels — 30 servings
• Wild-caught fish; made in the USA in a cGMP facility

How to Use

1. The label directions: adults, take two softgels daily with water and a meal, or as your healthcare provider recommends.
2. Taking it with a meal that contains some fat helps the oil absorb and cuts fishy burps. You can take one with breakfast and one with dinner.
3. Keep the bottle in the fridge in hot weather.

Who Is It Suitable For?

Adults who rarely eat oily fish and want a concentrated omega-3.

• Blood thinners, a bleeding disorder or surgery coming up — see the warning above.
• Heart rhythm — in trials, omega-3 at about 1 g a day or more was linked with a small rise in atrial fibrillation in people with heart disease. If you have a heart condition, ask your cardiologist.
• Fish or soy allergy — not suitable.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding — omega-3 is often advised in pregnancy, but ask your doctor about the dose. Not for children without medical advice.

Why Choose NatureWise Omega-3?

Two softgels give a full 1,000 mg of EPA and DHA, the label states exactly how much of each, and the lemon flavour makes it easier to keep taking. It is a strong, clearly labelled fish oil — just budget for a one-month bottle.

This Is a Supplement, Not a Medicine

A dietary supplement is a food product. It is not a medicine, it has not been through the testing a medicine goes through, and it does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

Supplement labels use health language — “supports”, “helps maintain”, “promotes” — precisely because they are not permitted to claim treatment. Read them that way. If a listing anywhere promises that a capsule will fix a medical condition, that promise is not one the product can keep.

What a supplement can honestly do is fill a gap in your diet. That is worth something, and it is a smaller thing than most packaging implies.

Talk to a Doctor First

Speak to a doctor or pharmacist before you start, particularly if you:

• take any prescribed medicine — supplements interfere with medicines more often than people expect
• are being treated for a heart, liver, kidney, thyroid or blood condition
• have diabetes
• are pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding
• have surgery or a dental procedure coming up

Never stop or reduce a prescribed medicine in order to take a supplement instead. That is the single most dangerous thing anyone does with a product like this, and it is what the marketing language quietly invites.

About the Imported Pack

This is an imported product. The label, the dose instructions and the ingredient panel are the ones printed for the market it was made for, and the wording may differ from a locally packaged version.

Follow the dose printed on the pack itself — it is the authority on its own contents — and check the expiry date when it arrives. If anything on the label is unclear, message us before you take it and we will read it to you.

Storage

• Keep the container tightly closed, somewhere cool and dry, out of direct sunlight.
• Do not store it in a bathroom. Heat and humidity break supplements down faster than anything else, and a Dhaka bathroom is the worst place in the house for them.
• Leave the desiccant sachet in the bottle. It is there to keep moisture out, not by mistake.
• Softgels and fish oils are best kept in a fridge in hot weather — they go rancid otherwise.
• Keep it out of reach of children.
• Do not use it after the expiry date, and throw it away if the capsules smell strongly off, have stuck together or changed colour.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 1,000 mg per softgel?

No — per serving of two softgels. Each softgel gives about 300 mg EPA and 200 mg DHA.

Will I get fishy burps?

Fewer than with many fish oils, thanks to the lemon flavour. Taking it with food and keeping the bottle in the fridge helps more.

Can I take it with aspirin?

Only if your doctor agrees — the effects on bleeding add up.

Should I take it with food?

Follow the pack. As a general rule, fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) and oils absorb better with a meal that contains some fat, and they are gentler on the stomach that way.

How do I check the pack is in date?

The expiry date is printed on the bottle or the base of the box. Check it as soon as your order arrives. If it is unreadable or close to expiry, message us and we will replace it.
